What are folks using to optimize spend without handing in too much on quality?

u shud start with a cheaper model first to get the task done but if it still doesnt work out, then switch to a better model..depends on the requirement tho

byok is the move! i pay per token and run cheap models for the boring stuff, only splurge when a task needs it.

[Ivovosk]

use different models for different tasks. and do that on the fly

[rietie]

how do you decide what model to route to what task?
