Enterprise user asks which models can cut frontier-token spend on a $1M compute budget

A Reddit user asks which models would best offset frontier-token usage inside a large enterprise, assuming about a $1M compute budget.

• The poster says they are running a POC with around $60k in hardware and want a model mix that can reduce expensive usage of frontier systems such as Cursor.
• The question is framed as a deployment and cost-optimization problem rather than a benchmark or product review.
• The author already has a direction in mind, but wants to avoid missing newly competitive models as the space changes quickly.
