omarsar0 · x · 2026-08-28
Omar Sanseverino shares a cost-optimization strategy for building AI Agents:
- Division of Labor: Use Frontier models for orchestration and coordination, and open/cheaper models for execution.
- Impact: This combination allows for rapid token usage growth while keeping costs manageable, enabling deeper deployment of proactive agents.
- View: For most tasks, the most capable models are not strictly necessary.
