Which tier should I pick for my run?
The docs' advice: start with auto or flash, and move a run type up only when you see it struggle: more steps, failed checks, or answers that miss the point.
Rules of thumb#
- flash: renames, type errors, small scripts, answering questions about code, high-volume automation.
- max: a feature end to end, debugging from logs and failing tests, refactors across files, setting up CI.
- heavy: subtle bugs (race conditions, flaky tests), large builds and migrations, design reviews, tasks where a wrong answer is expensive.
Test it#
Run the same task on two tiers and compare steps, tokens (usage.tokens) and quality before you pick a default.
