You don't need SOTA models to pend test your systems.

With enough effort put into proper harnesses, you can use good open-weights models and achieve a lot.

You can also use coding agents to clear out technical debt, or improve the security architecture.

Don't let yourself get paralyzed by lack of access to the latest-and-greatest models.
