Model Selection & Optimization

A budget-constrained pipeline is over cost target. Put these in the order the exam expects you to try them.

Show answer and explanation

Answer: B — Cache the stable prefix, trim bloated context, right-size the tier, then batch anything latency-tolerant

The tested cost-optimization order starts with the cheapest levers that don't touch quality — caching and context trimming — before touching model tier, and batches only what can tolerate the delay. Jumping straight to a cheaper model skips cheaper wins and risks quality loss.
