The key to cost optimization has shifted from 'which model to choose' to 'how to distribute requests', and the reasonable approach is routing: hand about 90% of calls that don't need frontier intelligence to cheap models, and route the remaining 10% of requests that need frontier reasoning to high-end models.

UnverifiedFor most application scenarios, prompt optimization offers a better cost-effectiveness ratio than model fine-tuning.76% similarUnverifiedThe combination of knowledge distillation and structural pruning can retain 80%–90% of a flagship model's core capabilities at a smaller parameter count while requiring only 20%–30% of the inference cost.73% similarUnverifiedAdopting a model routing and tiered selection strategy (using lightweight models for execution operations and flagship models for case generation) can keep API call costs within the range of 20%–40% of using only a top-tier model.73% similarUnverified据业内估算，一次高强度推理请求的计算成本可能是普通请求的5-10倍71% similarUnverified大模型的推理成本与参数量大致成正比，而实际业务中约80%的任务可以由中小规模模型胜任71% similar
