1. Add 3 columns to the selection table and lock down the definitions: unit task cost × task closed-loop rate, cache read unit price, API lifespan.Change the model-selection template homepage from 'who is strongest' to 'which one can take the dirtiest, largest-volume step off my hands': fixed three hard-field columns—① unit task cost × task closure rate (benchmark scores as notes only) ② cache read unit price (largest single cost item for long-context and high-repetition-prefix workloads) ③ API lifespan and official announcement channels. Current available anchors: Opus 5.5 input 4/output 20 USD per million tokens, cache reads down 60%; Luna per-task cost about 93%~96% lower than comparison models (vendor claim, mark as pending verification). Advanced: run an open-source comparison on own core tasks (MiMo-V2.6-Pro vs current model, fixed task set n≥30, produce capability-cost curve in 7 days).
window Immediate - 2 weeks 2. Do an 'external dependency migratability' inventory: one row each for API/model/platform, noting alternatives and migration hours.Using the Sora API shutdown as a template, list all our single-point dependencies (video generation, voiceover, TTS, image review, gateway, etc.), and annotate each: whether the abstraction layer is independent, whether prompts and workflows can be exported, who the alternative same-tier model is, estimated migration hours, whether assets are self-owned. Criteria are fixed upfront: any 'no alternative and migration effort > 3 person-days' is flagged red, with an alternative path in two weeks. Also set staged abandonment rights for new-direction investments (validation phase→volume ramp phase→scale phase, each stage withdrawable); no one-time heavy bets.
window Immediate - 2 weeks 3. Change the 'human adjudication' step into machine-checkable tiered decisions: cheap first-pass screening by small models, escalate if uncertain.Following the form of JEV-as-a-Judge and System One (claimed to be 100x faster and 200x cheaper than small frontier LLMs), change jury scoring, image review gate, and duplicate-check initial judgment into two tiers: tier 1 uses cheap fast models for routing/classification/scoring and outputs structured results (yes-no gives probability, multi-class gives enum, rating gives score band and criteria), tier 2 handles only uncertain samples. Implementation criteria: tier-1 decisions must retain raw output in ledger and be replayable for recheck; evaluation-type conclusions fix sample size n, and n<30 is always labeled 'for reference only'.
window Immediate - 1 month 4. Produce a 'can-be-pushed-down list': move work that can be done locally back from the cloud, with compliance placed before performance.Map each link of the existing chain by 'compute demand × data sensitivity': subtitle correction, sensitive text preprocessing, initial screening/classification, lightweight orchestration, etc. are prioritized for pushdown to the device/edge (local marginal cost ≈0, avoids data leaving domain), while heavy inference and large-model calls stay in the cloud. Order is fixed as 'compliance path first, then performance metrics'—use CAC on-device filing (Honor/Xiaomi/StepFun already included) to first delineate tasks that can be compliantly hosted; calculate on-device benefits incrementally (bias-variance tradeoff), and do not sacrifice overall architecture reusability for the single selling point of 'localization'.
