Question 02open

When should expensive models plan and supervise work executed by cheaper models?

Find the boundary between reasoning that needs a frontier model and execution that can safely move to less expensive workers.

Starting point

How far does the planner-worker split hold? Which parts of planning actually require an expensive model, and which parts can be handled by a cheaper one?

What to track

  • The kinds of ambiguity that require frontier reasoning.
  • Whether supervision can be triggered only at uncertainty or failure boundaries.
  • How plan quality changes execution cost and review burden.
