Similar for me, just no perplexity and I try to utilize more of Qwen for my coding, instead of cursor/claude, but i see my lazyness. This brings the advantage of having to go back to the basics aswell e.g. Search and Replace instead of just a brainless prompt...
Perplexity for deep research
Claude Opus for coding, Sonnet for writing
Gemma4 for local AI overviews and analysis
Qwen coder for local prototyping
