Unverified50% confidenceDecision RuleExact time
To decide whether to route to a smaller model, one should calculate the expected value: small model cost × success rate + (small model cost + large model cost) × fallback rate; when the fallback rate is high enough, routing directly to the large model is more cost-effective.

UnverifiedA carefully designed workflow can enable a mid-tier model to produce results close to those of top-tier models at less than one-tenth of the cost.73% similarUnverifiedThe expected cost of a decision depends not only on the probability that the model makes an incorrect judgment, but also on the actual consequences when an error occurs.72% similarUnverified差异化Token倍率机制可通过更高的消耗系数对高成本模型使用量形成经济约束，并引导用户在轻量任务中优先选用小模型71% similarUnverifiedThe total cost of a higher-priced large model on a complete task may actually be lower.71% similarUnverifiedFor small models with limited parameter counts, data quality can have an even greater impact on final performance than data quantity.71% similar
