use different models for different tasks. and do that on the fly

byok is the move! i pay per token and run cheap models for the boring stuff, only splurge when a task needs it.

u shud start with a cheaper model first to get the task done but if it still doesnt work out, then switch to a better model..depends on the requirement tho
