Frontier LLMs treated as 'god' are expensive and slow
Frontier LLMs are increasingly treated like a 'god'—used for any fuzzy-input task—but this generality incurs high cost and latency on every call, even when only a binary decision is needed.

As frontier LLMs have gotten more capable, we've started treating them like god, reaching for them for any task with fuzzy inputs: prose generation, document extraction, search, ranking, research, classification, and more. Unfortunately, god is expensive, and slow. You pay for that generality on every call, even when all you needed was a yes or no.
