From the discussion
A few top-level comments from Hacker News, shortened. Read the full thread on Hacker News.
If you use Qwen3.8 27B to manage, to orchestrate, do do shallow research, and then make it ask claude you will notice that Qwen can get out of Haiku, Sonnet and Opus almost as good answers... I was researching how good the model asnswers where, I can't get to work with anything but Fable, but Qwen can get good work…
Everyone is discussing the tech, but you do realize that they made mapping data to real people easier using AI? This is essentially AI-assisted privacy violation, 4 times cheaper. People, please try to understand what you are building. Don't just build it as asked!
Im also planning to combine them. I have haiku hooked up for guardrails in my llm proxy. With the prompts routed to opus or sonnet after they pass the check. I'll replace haiku with Jev and my costs should definitely drop.
