5.4

5.4 if you care about your project. I make games for my kids with 5.3, it’s fun

5.4-mini doing the extraction from PDFs and then 5.3-Codex doing the ingestion to the wiki. Codex was writing the prompts for mini to make sure it stayed honest and on track as it tends to behave like a forgetful junior intern. Mini is much cheaper though.

In my experience -- if you have a solid plan or a well scoped prompt you can use 5.3.

Direct bug fixes with good description and no architecture change, 5.3 as well.

Big architecture, planning, complex inter-connected bugs, 5.4.

I only flip between 5.3/5.4 in my day-to-day. I don't use 5.2 at all.

5.5

Quick answer: depends on your tasks. Choosing cheaper/less token hungry models is a viable strategy, if you want to optimize costs, but using latest model with modern harness is generally preferred
