- In short
- Running a task across hundreds of similar items in sequence magnifies the practical impact of choosing a faster, lower tier: a speed advantage on a single call becomes a large aggregate time and cost saving across many calls. High-volume, structured, repetitive tasks are where the lower-tier advantage compounds most, so a tier choice that is a near-toss-up at low volume can have a clear answer at high volume. Volume is a task-requirement input to model selection alongside quality and speed.
