This is great, thank you! Do you have a quick example of haiku vs sonnet vs opus tasks? Quick answers vs everyday vs complex is a little high level for me (somewhat new to using AI frequently). Thanks!
I found sonnet is fast and efficient when start a new project or task,opus is good for complex or pick up something already going on.
I just finish my tax filing with Claude,one on side I use Sonnet to build up my 2025 new IRA account investment while using Opus to pick up and continue my tax filing. Pretty good in harmony…
Thanks for sharing! So you start a chat with Sonnet and then use the output to start a new chat with opus, right? Because, as far as I know, the Claude app doesn't allow switching models in the same chat (mid-conversation)
This is really useful because most people blame the model when the real issue is how they use context. Small habits can save a lot more than people think.
That's very clever. I don't use Claude that much, but I'll keep those in mind when I work with it again. - I use Chat GPT a lot at the moment, but I might use a few of them over there, too.
Claude's strength for professional services is document analysis. Accountants uploading IRS notices, financial statements, or tax regulations get dramatically better summaries from Claude than ChatGPT — especially for long, complex documents. The free tier limits are real though. For heavy document users, the Pro plan pays for itself in the first week.
(Also quit Chat GPT today).
Welcome to the Claude club! 😁

Hmmm ... here are some examples I just came up with:
Haiku: For quick, simple answers that you'd google otherwise "who is XYZ?" or "what's the difference between X and Y?"
Sonnet: For tasks that don't need a lot of thinking like "help me write a cover letter" or "summarize this article"
Opus: When you need Claude to really think hard and not miss stuff like "read this 30-page contract and tell me if anything looks sketchy."
Hope that helps!
That is so helpful! Thanks Frank!

Correct but I was using two instances of Claude code running at the same time.
Thank you. This is amazing. It made so much sense.
Glad you found it useful!
This is so good. Thank you. Editing your first prompt is gold.
That small habit is one of my favorites
Great share. Knowing your tool's limits and working around them is a real productivity skill.
Agree!

Yes, good habits can help get the most out of Claude
Incredible setup guide here for anyone who’s either started using AI or migrating from ChatGPT!
Thanks! Glad you found it useful
That’s some top notch advice there cheers!

These are killer tips, especially found 1 & 2 interesting. Excited to see how much more I can squeeze out of Claude.
