UnverifiedIn actual development, 80%–90% of basic tasks can be completed by cost-effective models such as DeepSeek, and only high-difficulty tasks such as complex reasoning and multi-step planning require calling expensive top-tier models.75% similarUnverifiedWhen building products, developers need to balance cost against effectiveness: use cheaper models for high-frequency, low-complexity tasks, and flagship models for critical, high-value inference.73% similarUnverified在许多实际项目中，一个由几个确定性步骤组成的简单工作流往往比复杂的多智能体架构更容易调试、成本更低、速度更快、也更可靠72% similarUnverifiedToo many tools cause model selection confusion; the current mainstream direction is to provide a small number of tools and let the model iteratively leverage them on its own, or let the model dynamically design tools based on the task (especially by writing scripts).71% similarUnverifiedDevelopment tasks can be divided into thinking-type tasks (requirements analysis, solution planning, task decomposition) and execution-type tasks (writing code, making modifications, running tests); thinking-type tasks require the strongest model, while execution-type tasks can use cheaper models.71% similar
