Assigning models per agent can simultaneously solve the two problems of paying the high cost of a frontier model for simple queries and getting weak answers for judgment-heavy tasks.

UnverifiedIn Agent tasks, a more expensive model does not necessarily mean worse cost-effectiveness; a stronger model may complete the task with fewer tokens and a shorter path, while a weaker model may incur higher total costs due to a longer path.75% similarUnverifiedTraditional large-model evaluation mainly looks at single-turn question-answering accuracy or perplexity, but Agent behavior is multi-step, environment-dependent, and involves tool calls.72% similarVerifiedWhen a model gives answers of vastly different quality for semantically equivalent but differently phrased questions, it indicates that the model has overfitted to surface-level wording rather than truly mastering the underlying task.71% similarUnverifiedThe following cases usually do not need an agent: the task can be solved in one response, the step sequence is known, tool selection can be expressed with ordinary conditionals, results must arrive within a strict latency budget, per-request cost must be predictable, erroneous actions are hard to undo, and it is impossible to define what successful completion looks like.71% similarUnverifiedWhen choosing a model, the key question is to find the model that passes the evaluation set with acceptable accuracy and has the lowest running cost, not the smartest model.70% similar
