Framework
Right Model, Right Task
Yannick's answer to model selection is an internal routing layer, not a vendor bet.
How it works
- 1Every task carries a speed, cost, and quality tradeoff, and they rarely optimize together.
- 2Frontier models are heavily tuned for coding, which is not the veterinary use case.
- 3Engineers cannot judge whether a SOAP note is clinically good, so vets run the evaluations.
- 4Open weight models running on owned hardware solve the data safety question at the same time.
- 5Assume the newest release is wrong for your task until your own evals say otherwise.
