The advisor tool lets a faster, lower-cost **executor model** consult a higher-intelligence **advisor model** mid-generation for strategic guidance. The advisor reads the full conversation, produces a plan or course correction, and the executor continues with the task. -This pattern fits long-horizon agentic workloads (coding agents, computer use, multistep research pipelines) where most turns are mechanical but having an excellent plan is crucial. You get close to advisor-solo quality while the bulk of token generation happens at executor-model rates. +This pattern fits long-horizon agentic workloads (coding agents, computer use, multistep research pipelines) where most turns are mechanical but having an excellent plan is crucial. You get close to advisor-solo quality while the bulk of token generation happens at executor-model rates. For measured results, including how the benefit shrinks as the executor's own capability approaches the advisor's, see [Optimizing for cost and intelligence](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/about-claude/models/optimizing-for-cost-and-intelligence). ```mermaid sequenceDiagram
