Consider the problem of moving. Return JSON {"choice":"reasoning or regular","reason":"why this particular model","cheaper_alternative":"when a regular model would be enough for such a topic"}
How to choose a model? Look at the structure of the task, not the topic. Signs that a thinker is needed: many steps, dependencies between them, strict restrictions, mathematics or planning, high cost of error. Signs that the usual is enough: rewrite the text, explain, come up with options where speed and smoothness are more important, rather than strict logic. Moving with a budget, deadlines and dependencies (“you can’t remove the furniture until it’s sold”) is about reasoning. Congratulations - about the regular model. Insider: if in doubt, start with the usual one and complicate it to the thinking one only when the answer is “blurred” or the task is clearly multi-step - this way you save time and don’t wait in vain. The second technique: one big task can be broken down - the planning can be given to the thinking person, and the final text of the advertisement for the sale of furniture can be completed as usual. A typical rookie mistake: turn on the “heavy” model for everything, including trifles, and then complain about delays and extra expenses.
