hybrid-opus-haiku-llm-strategy-for-researchclaw-pipeline

AutoResearchClaw natively supports primary + fallback model configuration. Use Opus 4.6 for the ~8 critical reasoning stages (hypothesis generation, paper writing, peer review simulation) and Haiku 4.5 for the ~15 routine stages (topic init, resource planning, export). Prefer Haiku 4.5 over GPT-4o-mini to stay within the Anthropic ecosystem for unified cost tracking. This is the zero-compromise quality-to-efficiency ratio.
