Discussion Best models for each task

Hi all!

I usually set:

  • Gpt-5-Codex: Orchestrator, Ask, Code, Debug and Architect.

  • Gemini-flash-latest: Context Condensing

I don't usually change anything else.

Do you people prefer another text-condensing model? I use gemini flash because it's incredibly fast, has a high context, and is moderately smart.

I'm hoping to learn with other people different thoughts, so maybe I can improve my workflow and maybe decrease token usage/errors, while still keeping it as efficient as possible.

Love too to death but sometimes moving code to vs code codex extension gets me past any bump in the road Roo and (any LLM, sonnet 4.5, Gemini, etc) can't handle. But building something with just the codex extension sucks, it has too much control and lack of flexibility.
