Unverified50% confidenceOpinionExact time
In multi-step agent tasks, typically only a small number of steps require top-tier model reasoning; the majority of intermediate steps are glue logic, and using high-end models uniformly across all steps wastes budget.

UnverifiedSmaller models are compelled to write highly explicit, step-by-step operation guides because they cannot rely on powerful implicit reasoning capabilities to skip steps78% similarUnverifiedThere is a Pareto frontier trade-off among reasoning depth, response speed, and cost efficiency, with no single model able to simultaneously achieve optimal performance on all task dimensions.76% similarUnverified推理任务和摘要任务用同一模型处理既浪费算力也未必取得最佳效果，需按任务特征分配不同模型75% similarVerifiedResearch shows that pure prompt optimization yields limited improvements on complex reasoning tasks, and that substantively breaking through capability ceilings requires the introduction of tool calling, chain-of-thought, memory mechanisms, and multi-agent division of labor.74% similarUnverified选型应按任务结构而非模型名气选择，若三问（多步执行且可能改计划、错误成本高、结果可验证）都为是则优先用Opus 5，只有一个为是则先用更便宜的模型74% similar
