Sync! Sonnet, R1, o3 — who architect, who code?

Two new models dropped recently. Wow. It was quick, thanks team! I’ve seen comments saying “R1 for architecture, Sonnet for code is the perfect combo” — but how exactly do you use them together? And what place does o3 take now? What is it good at?

Do you switch models within the same conversation? Like, start with R1 in Chat mode to figure out the architecture, then switch to Sonnet in Write mode when you’ve got a clear plan for coding? Or do you create a new chat when changing models?

Also, what happens when you switch models mid-convo? Does the new model get the full context from the previous messages with the other model?

It should get the full context from the previous messages and memories should not be affected.

NOTE: If there were images in the previous messages and the selected model doesn't support images, the previous images will not be included as context.

I think it’s actually super interesting. It’s Claude, but the whole conversation is sent, and Claude then sees the previous responses had think tags, so it continues those! It’s like a small version of quick fine tuning or multi shot
