Balancing Prompt Optimization Across Multiple AI Models
How do I solve this: When using multiple models in OC, the prompts can really only be optimized for one model. So other models are suboptimal because the prompts aren't tailored for them. Example: My entire OC stack runs on Opus 4.6. However, if I want to use Sonnet for certain things, Opus 4.6 has very different prompting behavior. One solution is to have multiple prompt files for every model being used. This is overly complicated. The other solution is to use a single model for everything, which can get expensive since I will prefer the best model.
