### Segment 1 (00:00 - 01:00) []

Here's usually the mistake they're making. They sent a complex, important requests to the fastest, cheapest model. Within any major AI platform, there are multiple models that you can choose from. For Claude, there's three main options. — There's Opus, Sonnet, and Haiku. Each one of them is built for different situations. The Opus model is the most powerful, but that also means it's the slowest, it's the most expensive, and it burns through your tokens the fastest. Sometimes that's worth it. For high-stakes decisions, for complex analysis, for important, nuanced writing. Big decisions that have a big impact. — Sonnet is kind of the middle ground. It's a good balance of performance, speed, and cost. This is what I typically tend to use on a day-to-day basis for most tasks. And then you have Haiku, the fastest, cheapest, least powerful model. But for things like looking up simple information, short replies to questions, low-stakes tasks where speed is really what you care about, it's perfect. For most use cases, I use Sonnet. Like I said, it's a nice balance of performance and speed and cost. If I am, say, on the go on my phone, and I just need a really fast answer, I might switch over to Haiku. And then if I have something that's really big or complex or high-stakes, I'll often use Opus for that, even though it's more expensive and uses more tokens.
