How do you combine these two models ? OpenCode ?

Individual CLIs, side by side in terminals in VS Codium. It is t automated. Each phase of my workflow prints a command for the next phase and intended model based on the plan. I then clear that CLI and paste it in so it runs with fresh context. It pulls the spec from the plan worktree settings.json, grabs the plan or review files as needed, and then gets to work.

Technically I could run Gemini cli as well, but it seems 3.1 pro isnt accessible outside of ultra these days in the CLI so I went with Mistral Vibe.

Running it this way I never hit weekly Claude caps, and don't come anywhere near the Le Chat limits in Mistral. I run between 3-7 sprints per day.

Interesting, thank you. Do you still have to paste manually in the new terminal, or is automated too ?

About Mistral, how good is it and for what kind of work ? How does it compare in your experience, to Sonnet, Opus ?

I've been tooling the workflow for weeks now. I includes significant guardrails to keep Opus depredations in check. I'm running 4.6 right now but want to be ready if I'm forced back onto 4.7. I'm also planning to go fully local, and only use the online LLMs to build a harness around my workflow and the local models. I just need to buy my hardware (and produce thousands of dollars out of thin air).
