A new approach to using large language models (LLMs) involves creating a system of models rather than relying on a single one. This method leverages NVIDIA's Nemotron 3.5 Lightning, a cost-effective model, by using its high rate of malformed output as a signal for escalation. When Lightning produces an invalid output, the request is rerouted to a more powerful model like Opus or GPT-5.5. This strategy significantly reduces costs and improves efficiency, achieving near-100% valid output at a fraction of the price and faster latency compared to using a single, more expensive model for all tasks.
