Model Selection Strategy
Choosing the right model for your use case can significantly impact both performance and cost.
Recommendations:
- Start with smaller models - Begin development with models
like
deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-PL-7B
oropenbmb/MiniCPM3-4B
which offer faster response times and lower costs. - Test before committing - Evaluate 2-3 models on your specific tasks before selecting one for production.
- Match model to task - Use specialized models for specialized tasks:
- Mathematical reasoning:
deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-Math
orbespokelabs/Bespoke-Stratos-32B
- Multilingual content:
CohereForAI/aya-expanse-32b
ortiiuae/Falcon3-10B-Instruct
- Document processing:
jinaai/ReaderLM-v2
- Mathematical reasoning:
- Consider context length needs - Only pay for extended context when your application requires it.
