@emmanuelsamms: Most people just default to Sonnet for everything in Claude Code — and they're leaving a ton of performance on the table. Here's the exact breakdown of when to use each model: ⚡ Sonnet — Your everyday default. Fast, reliable, great for quick tasks like reviewing chunks of code before you ship. 🧠 Opus — Switch to this when things get complex. Tricky bugs, poking holes in system designs before you start building. Opus is built for deep reasoning — most planning should start here. 🚀 Fable (Claude Mythos) — For your hardest work. The big difference from Opus? Fable needs way less hand-holding. Give it a massive task like "add a user settings page" — where every toggle has to map to a real database field and user permissions — and it plans it, works through it, and delivers a finished feature. Bonus tip: Don't forget the effort slider. Slide it low for fast answers. Crank it up when you want Claude Code to think longer, run tests, and double-check everything before handing it back. Right model + right effort level = Claude Code actually doing what you want. 🔗 My links & community: https://www.skool.com/ai-automation-system-beginer-5664/about #ClaudeCode #ClaudeAI #Sonnet #Opus #ClaudeMythos #AIForDevelopers #CodingWithAI #AIProductivity #DeveloperTools #PromptEngineering #AITips #BuildWithAI #TechTips #AnthropicAI #Shorts
