AI coding assistant usage shifts from coders to architects

A user reflects on their experience using various AI models for coding tasks, noting a shift from treating them as simple coders to more sophisticated architects. They observe that models like Anthropic's Opus and Fable are capable of creating detailed implementation plans, while Gemini is faster but less reliable for complex tasks. The user also discusses how restrictions on AI agents and token usage can lead to more focused and productive work, contrasting this with earlier, more unrestricted access that resulted in higher token consumption and less efficient problem-solving. AI

IMPACT User experience suggests AI models are evolving into more capable planning and architectural tools, potentially changing how developers interact with AI.
