Cascading models: Luna + Sol cuts costs by 76% with minor performance drop
TheArtificalQ · reddit · 2026-08-25
The author tested a cascading strategy where Luna handles tasks first and hands off to Sol when it detects limits. Results show:
- Performance: Luna alone 31.6%, Luna+Sol 74.5%, Sol alone 87.2%.
- Cost: Median cost $0.07 for the combo vs $0.29 for Sol alone.
The approach achieved near-Sol performance at a fraction of the cost.
