# Plan with Sonnet and build with Gemini

April 7, 2025

Vibe coders: unless you REALLY care about testing cutting edge AI models just do this:

\- plan the project with sonnet 3.7 max thinking
\- use gemini 2.5 pro to build it
\- switch back to sonnet 3.7 max if gemini gets stuck
\- get cursor to update your rules and plans as you go
