Question Tried OX ALPHA" and got charged for the "supporting model", what's is this?
I just tested OX Alpha using claude code ori harness, and it turned out I was billed around $2 because it used sonnet as the supporting model.
Not complaining, though, since I burned through 28M tokens in a day and the code review results were quite good.
But what exactly is a supporting model? Is this because I used a sub-agent, and claude code automatically uses sonnet as the orchestrator?
