UnverifiedFor the vast majority of application scenarios, models with a higher cost-performance ratio in the middle of the leaderboard are often the optimal engineering solution, and it is not necessary to choose the most capable model.74% similarUnverifiedModel selection is essentially a multi-objective optimization problem: sometimes the lowest price is needed, sometimes the fastest response, and sometimes specific capabilities.69% similarUnverifiedIn multi-agent scenarios, a model's cost efficiency is often more important than its peak capability.68% similarUnverified规则化的提示词更擅长保证输出下限，而非帮助模型突破上限68% similarUnverifiedIn scenarios without sensitive data (personal tools, content drafts, prototype validation), cost-effectiveness is the overwhelming consideration, and there is almost no reason to refuse switching to a cheaper model.68% similar
