The problem in their words
Developers using AI coding tools keep getting cut off mid-task, to the point where the limit, not the model, is the bottleneck. Some say their workflow barely changed but their token usage exploded. Others already split work across models or agents and want a clear way to decide which model gets which task, to save tokens and usage.

What they use today
- Using different models for planning and for tasks
- Paying for several plans
- Fixing the model setting by hand
- Running more than one coding agent
- Mixing cloud models with local ones

How do you maximize your Claude sub?
“goal is to use appropriate models and save tokens/usage.”

“My workflow barely changed. I'm doing the same thing. But my token usage has exploded.”

“I'm curious to hear from people that use a combination of cloud-based frontier models and local ones for development.”

If you tested it
A headline for the page: “Stop getting cut off mid-task by your coding usage limit”
Test first: The riskiest assumption is that developers will trust automatic routing over choosing models by hand. Sign-ups from people who now pick models manually would show it.
- Build a one-page site that explains routing each coding task to the cheapest capable model, with an email sign-up for early access.
- Share it in threads where developers talk about usage limits, juggling several plans and mixing cloud and local models.
- Count it a yes if people who say they hit limits sign up and reply describing their current model setup.
