Are you using the wrong Claude? (and how to fix it in 30sec) 😉

You might be using the wrong Claude. Here’s how to fix it in 30 seconds. You might be using the wrong claw. It actually took too long to realise this. So let me headache in 30 seconds. Now I'm not talking about the extra functions like cloned co work or cloned code, just the regular cloned chat. Now inside that, there's a little drop down menu on the right of your chat with three models to choose from. And most of getting started. Opus 4.7, most capable for ambitious work. Sonnet 4.6, responsive everyday work. Haiku 4.5, fastest, most efficient. Extended thinking. Randomly and hope for the best. But each one has a completely. So here are the three models and exactly when the no. 1. Haiku – lightning speed for quick jobs. You've got Haiku, which is lightning speed, fast like a shot of espresso. It gets the job done. If you've just got a big pile of stuff to work through, meeting notes, just loads of data that you need process quickly, this is the model to use. It's just fast and really light on your usage limits within Claude. Now no. 2 is Sonnet. This is often actually these days. Things really well without going over the top. So for example, when I'm drafting an email, brainstorming ideas, writing content, working through a problem that's on it. It's fast enough, smart enough and importantly, it doesn't chew through your monthly usage limit the one does. So if you'd have no idea which model to pick, my advice would be to go. And here's no. 3, which is Opus. And I think most people go wrong. I think we lean on Opus too often. Only lean on really heavy stuff. So whether that's complex analysis, really deep thinking, got a really layered problem and you need claw to really sit with it. It's slower. And of course it eats through your usage a lot faster. One more thing. You'll notice at the bottom, there's a toggle called adaptive thinking. That doesn't change depending on the model you're on. It actually just tells Claude how hard to think depending on what you're asking. It's like giving it permission to figure out its effort level. So three models, Haiku for speed and volume, Sonnet for everyday tasks, and Opus for big thinking. Save this for next time you open that drop down.
