- In short
- Per-step model tiering assigns different model tiers to different steps of a multi-step pipeline based on what each step actually requires. A simple classification or routing step rarely needs the same tier as a final synthesis or reasoning step. Deciding correctly requires a per-step eval rather than a single end-to-end score, because an aggregate number hides which step actually needs the higher tier.
