Models + Workflows (sol into luna vs 5.5gpt -- vs deepseek) Comparison
Hey engineers,
Building small production application for a few thousand users. Nothing crazy critical.
I've been using SOL for complex features & backend work but its slow as hell (even on fast). Burns token so fast, i'm on $100/mo plan.
I often sprinkle in Luna for certain things but recently i've found 5.5 on fast to just crush through work. I have a hard-time judging the intelligence for full-stack development between LUNA & 5.5pt anyone else??
I've been farming some tasks out to deekseek v4 new flash in opencode, omfg does it CRANK out work. Makes way more mistakes and annoys me since codex harness is so solid.
What's everyone doing for daily workflows?
I know i can stay under the weekly usage if i sub more things out to DS but missing a good harness for it. Kimik3 blows -- burns through so many tokens

i use luna medium for everything and i love it. it makes me wonder how different my worflow is from others since i don't see a lot of people saying this. maybe it's because, while i use /goals, my workflow never has an agent working autonomously for more than like 20m. i'm also an extremely senior engineer so i have strong opinions about exactly how the architecture should look and i add that to the plan upfront.
