+1, this bothers me more than it should.

#72> By 2028, AI coding costs are expected to blow past the average developer's salary. A quarter of engineering leaders already burn $200–$500 per developer per month on tokens.
Wasn't the AI promise to save costs? So it was a lie.

#73So they're using this to finally implement AirPlay 2 support, right?
Right?
Rules for thee...

#74So this is just delegating certain work to dumber models? I certainly wouldn't use Gemini 2.5 Flash (!!?) for code writing as suggested. I've never had an issue with Codex or Claude reading massive files, they're really good at precise greps.
I wish I could say this explains a lot about the state of Spotify's apps, but they have been that way since long before AI.

> I've never had an issue with Codex or Claude reading massive files Reading files isn't a problem they want to solve. The idea seems to be using a cheaper model to "scout" for the intended code, instead of an expensive one that reads all the things (and spends more tokens / thinks about them). I think this might be useful because Opus 5 especially tends to over-read. So this looks like an "LLM Bloom filter", telling…

It's not a great analogy, since Bloom filters are guaranteed to not have any false negatives, only false positives.
That property would be very useful here, but I don't see how it would be achievable using LLMs.

As of July, the explore agent inherits the parent model, capped at opus. So fable and opus use opus to explore. Sonnet uses sonnet. I replaced my built in explore agent with one hardcoded to sonnet low effort. https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/issues/72940
It did used to use Haiku but that model is now too too far behind…

Am I missing something? Unless you have infinity money, would it not be very stupid to pay for "precise greps?"

#78I wish websites would stop messing with the scrolling behavior.
I used to date a girl who was a designer and had to plead with her that breaking behaviors I'm used to is not a positive UX.
"But it adds motion" was the classic reply.

#80Are such things really helping reduce tokens? I see graphify being suggested as a graph db for avoiding greps
