I notice Cursor already does something similar. Even if I have Opus 4.8 selected, it will trigger subagents using Composer 2.5. I like using Auto personally because it is pretty effective and deeply discounted, but at work I YOLO Opus high.
I imagine a solution like this will eventually be an enterprise-forced solution because there is no reason right now for individual developers to be selective about model pricing. Even more important is non-tech users who do stuff through MCPs like "give me a full overview of all analytics" and let it chug for half an hour.
Oh interesting, didn't know Cursor did that! Totally makes sense though, routing subagents is def the easiest win, no need to have any cache awareness.
