Anthropic's official recommendation: when optimizing, first adjust the reasoning effort knob, then consider switching models, because the performance difference of the same model across levels is sometimes larger than the difference across models.

UnverifiedThe more pragmatic approach at this stage is to use the model as an augmentation layer that identifies suboptimal decisions on top of the traditional optimizer's plans and provides improvement suggestions, rather than fully replacing the mature optimizer.79% similarUnverifiedWhenever a model is upgraded, previously accumulated prompting techniques often need to be recalibrated, because the new model's behavioral characteristics, default tendencies, and reasoning approaches may all have changed76% similarUnverifiedWhen a model fails to converge after a long time, one should first examine whether the input state representation is reasonable, rather than blindly tuning hyperparameters.75% similarUnverifiedThe effectiveness of model ensembling stems from its ability to simultaneously reduce both the variance and bias of predictions.74% similarUnverifiedThe self-improvement mechanism achieves behavioral optimization primarily through context engineering at the inference stage, which differs from online fine-tuning that involves updating model parameters.74% similar
