Does delegating to cheaper models actually save money? I tested it across three codebases.

Disclaimer: This is a small experiment, not a definitive benchmark. Most tasks were run twice, while everyday tasks were run once. I'd have liked to run more repetitions, but subscription usage limits make that difficult. The cost differences are interesting, but small quality differences should be treated as observations rather than definitive rankings. I wanted to see whether Claude Opus decides to use subagents effectively, and whether forcing it to delegate, preventing delegation, or leaving it to decide for itself changes the results. I built a model-router skill that lets Opus delegate…
