An engineer designed a comprehensive framework, model-compass, to evaluate LLM performance across various real-world agent tasks and associated costs. Despite planning 10 distinct experiments to compare frontier models against cheaper alternatives and assess factors like context window limitations and tool-calling accuracy, only one experiment, focused on CI diagnostics, was executed. This single test proved sufficient to gain practical insights into model utility and cost-effectiveness for everyday engineering tasks. AI
