A developer has proposed a practical method for determining which coding tasks can be reliably handled by free AI models versus paid ones. The approach involves creating a personalized benchmark suite using tasks from one's own recent work, such as refactors, bug fixes, or test writing. This suite, formatted in YAML, includes verifiable outcomes and is run against candidate models. The results are then aggregated by task category to build a routing table, guiding developers on when to use free models and when to opt for more powerful paid solutions. AI
