This is why I use the agent I use. I won't name the company, because I don't want people to think I'm a shill for them (I've already been accused of it before, but I'm just a happy, excited customer). But it's an agentic coding company that isn't associated with any of the big model providers.

I don't want to keep up with all the new model releases. I don't want to read every model card. I don't want to feel pressured to update immediately (if it's better). I don't want to run evals. I don't want to think about when different models are better for different scenarios. I don't want to build obvious/common subagents. I don't want to manage N > 1 billing entities.

I just want to work.

Paying an agentic coding company to do this makes perfect sense for me.
