Data-driven model selection strategies
BACKGROUND: Different AI vendors vary significantly in price, responsiveness, and task adaptability, and choosing blindly can lead to wasted costs or poor results.
Optimization methods:
- Use the "Compare Models" tool: upload test data (e.g., text samples to be translated), and the system will call multiple models in parallel to return a comparison report.
- Analysis dimensions include: processing elapsed time (milliseconds), output quality score, cost per call
- Performance Balancing Recommendation: Prefer low latency models for real-time applications, and consider cost-optimized solutions for batch tasks.
Hands-on steps:
- Creating a "New Comparison" task in the dashboard
- Select the type of task (e.g. text categorization/image generation)
- Enter test data and select vendors to be compared (no more than 5 recommended)
- View the results report, focusing on the Chinese processing power indicator
Additional tip: You can preset the "Fallback" mechanism in the workflow to automatically switch to the alternate vendor when the preferred model times out.
