Most developers default to Claude for everything. Planning, writing, execution, review. It works. It also costs more than it needs to.
I ran a real test. Same task, two approaches. Claude Code handling the full conversation end to end came to $3.56. RAPR AI's Pipeline feature — Claude plans it, a cheaper model executes it — came to $0.908. Same output quality. 75% lower cost.
The Pipeline works like this: you run /pipeline with your task, Claude does the reasoning and planning step, then you pick which model handles execution. Context passes automatically. No copy-pasting, no re-explaining.

If you're building workflows for clients who care about token costs, this is worth understanding. raprai.com
