Not every task deserves your best model

Using your strongest model for a quick brainstorm is like hiring a surgeon to put on a bandage.

Why it happens

Not every task carries the same stakes, and using maximum power everywhere wastes time, money, and often speed.

What to do

Save the top-tier model for what actually carries risk: client work, analysis, anything with your name on it. Use something fast and cheap for the rest.

Switch models based on the task, not out of habit.
