Four decisions to hand from Opus 5.5 to Jev
A video walks through four choices to route to Jev instead of Opus 5.5: which notes to load, who runs the step, what to do after a failure, and which tests to run first, leaving Opus for writing and planning.
holy sh*t, someone just mapped the 4 decisions you should stop paying Opus 5.5 for your agent spends frontier tokens on questions a smaller layer answers better: → which notes to load: score them, don't load all nine → who runs the step: a rename doesn't need the frontier model → what to do after a failure: retry once, switch tools, or stop and ask → which tests to run first: focused tests first, full suite before merge the boundary: Opus 5.5 → writing, planning, reading unfamiliar code Jev → choosing among the options it was handed harness → option list, thresholds, permissions, budget verifier → reads the file, the diff and the test output again the generator changes the decision layer doesn't OpenAI, DeepMind, Anthropic, Grok. one contract save this ⭣
