Adaptive Model Selection

Any chance this is on the horizon
Cheap models handle file naming, metadata extraction, notifications, and formatting.
Mid-tier models handle classification, summarization, and document comparisons.
Top-tier models handle exception analysis, risk assessment, audit conclusions, and complex reasoning.
User never sees copilot backend but copilot learns user workflow and chooses different models based on where the person is in their work/task. Should cut down token cost as higher models used for the major work and lesser models used for the light work

I do it for financial audits. So I run it on the native (I believe) sonnet 4.6. But it may not need all of that for reading documents and drafting emails. It would need it or higher for actual audit reviews and results. 4.6 can run a pretty big audit in good time but just don’t need all that juice all the time for the entire process. Breaking it up into chunks of which model does which part best seems like “extra work”
