Best default
Treat document workloads as pipelines, not single prompts. Extraction, classification, summarization, evaluation, and exception handling should not all use the same model tier.
- Chunk and cache stable instructions instead of sending oversized contexts.
- Use open-model or batch lanes for routine extraction and summaries.
- Keep frontier models for schema changes, evaluator samples, and edge cases.
Hidden cost
Output tokens, retries, storage, egress, and search grounding can dominate the advertised model price. Track accepted outputs instead of generated outputs.
