When To Use

Use when deciding between high-capability models like GPT-4o and smaller models like GPT-4o-mini to balance performance requirements against budget and speed constraints.

What This Skill Covers

  • Choosing the right model, whether GPT-4o or a smaller option like GPT-4o-mini, requires balancing accuracy, latency, and cost. This guide explains key princi...
  • Main sections: Core principles, 1. Focus on accuracy first, Setting a realistic accuracy target, 2. Optimize cost and latency, Exceptions to the rule.

Workflow

  1. Open the most relevant file under docs/ for the exact documented workflow and wording.
  2. Open schemas/ files for exact structured contracts.
  3. Open examples/ files for concrete requests, commands, snippets, and manifests.
  4. Do not add behavior or configuration that is not present in the attached source files.
