For most AI tasks, particularly information retrieval and workflow execution, smaller models like Google Flash or DeepSeek are sufficient and significantly more cost-effective than frontier models like Opus or GPT-5.5; frontier models should be reserved for system design and index creation to optimize the workflow for smaller models.

Deep Dive
You don't need frontier models for most of your workAdded:
For a lot of tasks, you don't need the frontier models to actually execute them. And if you have your workflows well defined, then you can just as well use Google Flash or DeepSeek or whatever and save so much money. Like 90% of the things I do is like describe something and go and find it and then bring me that information so I can build on it, right? I don't need Opus to go and find that stuff. I need Opus to design my system and index design the index so that the smaller models can actually go and find it easier.
