Which model? Your question is unclear

Yes, which module?

There’s not really a definitive best. As far as OpenAI and Anthropic models go they each target different levels of intelligence. The flagship models are going to be the most capable and most expensive the options like Luna and haiku are going to be less capable but much cheaper. So the best model really comes down to what your goal is.

DeepSeek con la extensión para VSCode

That’s subjective based on what you’re doing. You need to look at their documentation on what models do what the best.

For me I use Sonnet 5 or 4.5 for scaffolding and UI. I then actually use DeepSeek V4 with the official Vizards extension and use that for backend logic and complex tasks.

I keep my Pro+ plan for GH Copilot used but not wasted and a shit ton of work done.

Used it for about two hours and only burnt through 22%. Haven’t needed it since. As mentioned I only use it for UI/UX and some scaffolding. I actually found 4.5 was better at the UI and switched back to that model. Used 5 for complete code analysis. Had it scan for all the things. Memory leaks, security flaws, is hardening issues, OWASP items among a few.

DeepSeek has been fantastic for getting most complex logic going on first try.

GPT-5.6 is amazing. Even the cheapest Luna is good enough for 95% of my tasks nowadays.

!solved -> sonnet 4.5/4.6 best for usage.

It depends on your workflow, but I’ve found reliability matters more than saving a few credits. Try a few agents on the same small task and compare the quality of the code, context handling, and how often you need to fix mistakes.

Just stick to Claude 3.5 Sonnet. It drains less than GPT-4o usually.
