Daniel San(@dani_avila7):This image doesn’t mean some tasks are easier than others It means each model has a role where it can deliver the most value If you’re using Opus for tasks Haiku can handle with the same quality, you’re likely wasting time and money Choosing the right model for each task is a core AI engineering skill, and exactly the kind of decision Forward Deployed Engineers (FDEs) make Not sure which model to use? Build a dataset of real tasks, run evals across models, and compare: - quality - latency - token usage - cost Don’t assume the most powerful model is always the best choice… Measure it!

I really like this image! It perfectly reflects how I’m distributing each task across the different models
