Give People the Best Models

Don’t cheap out on model access. Give people the most capable models so they can collaborate at the highest level. The difference between a frontier model and a budget one isn’t incremental. It’s the difference between a useful collaborator and a frustrating one.

Once people have access, train them to optimize. Not every task needs the most expensive model. Quick formatting? Use a smaller one. Strategic analysis? Use the best you’ve got. The skill is matching model capability to task complexity, not defaulting to the cheapest option for everything.

The goal: everyone has access to the best, and everyone knows when to use what.
