Orchestrating AI Like a Development Team: Why Model Specialization Beats Single-Chat Interfaces

Using a single AI model for all development tasks wastes expensive reasoning capacity on routine work like file parsing and code generation. By assigning specialized roles to different models—one for planning, another for implementation, another for review—teams can preserve their most capable model for complex decisions. This orchestration pattern suggests AI's next leap won't come from bigger models, but from smarter coordination between specialized agents.
