**Architecture, design, and review tasks**: use the most capable available model.

**Don't pick "most capable" from memory — inherit instead.** Your knowledge of the model lineup goes stale the moment a newer frontier model ships, so a model name recalled from training data silently downgrades the dispatch. When your dispatch tool takes an optional model parameter, omit it for these tasks: the subagent inherits the session's model — the one your human partner already chose — and inheritance can never resolve to a stale name. Pass an explicit model only to route mechanical or integration tasks to a cheaper tier, and take the name from what the harness offers, not from recall.

**Task complexity signals:**
- Touches 1-2 files with a complete spec → cheap model
- Touches multiple files with integration concerns → standard model
