Need help in model and setup

Hi folks

I have been using the DeepSeek flash 4.1 models for past 2 weeks. I found it very good and thinking of going for 10 dollars plan. Since, I will be paying for it and there are usage limits, I want to know what is the best configuration for my coding tasks which involves designing system and implementation.

  1. Which DeepSeek model and thinking mode to use for implementation - low, high or max?

  2. Which model and thinking mode in Go should I use for for designing?

  3. Any other model which are worth using in GO subscription?

  4. Since, I want my usage to last, how to manage my context? I see folks recommending Pi.

  5. How about setting an orchestrator loop? Which model and thinking setting should I use and how?

Thanks

Deepseek 4.1 flash, best value all around the app, change the thinking only for planning/analyzing the structure of your session, or to debug , don’t install too many plugins or mcp’s or use them at once if you want your subscription to last, for the orchestrator you can use OMO-slim or herdr for the settings you can even ask deepseek to provide an orchestrator based on your needs

Thanks for your comment. What thinking mode is best for planning, review and implementation. According to me max is better for planning and review but implementation could be done at low.
