A user experimented with Opus 5.5 as a planner for three local AI models, finding that the cost and performance were heavily influenced by the local model's capabilities. Opus 5.5 primarily acted as a reader and director, processing significantly more tokens than it generated. The expense of using Opus 5.5 was directly tied to the number of review cycles needed to correct errors made by the local models, with a less capable local model leading to higher Opus costs and longer processing times.
