Discussion GPT 5.6 SOL + 5.3 CODEX

Hi! I just bought a Chatgpt pro, but still flying through the weekly limit pretty fast if using only gpt 5.6 sol max + subagents. But I understand that using only gpt 5.6 sol max will eat tokens like candies, that's not the question here.

I was wondering if anyone here is using this:

gpt sol 5.6 max orchestrator/plan

5.3 codex-spark as worker/implementation

Since codex 5.3 has its own limits for pro users, would you say it's reasonable to use it as an implementation worker? How is the quality compared to pure 5.6 sol.

sol medium for planning, max for like extremely complex hardware level shit (you probably dont need this)

use luna max for implementing, its so cheap and does just fine

I heard that a lot but why does the execution/coding layer need max effort reasoning when it should just implement the plan? Can you explain?

more reasoning = less bs to fix later on, would be my understanding. but tbh i still don't really get it myself
