    There is so much opportunity for purpose built models like this. Ideally a harness should spin up a subagent to offload to targeted models for specific tasks like this. I know this is not a novel idea. Claude code does some of this by handing off the "explore" agent work to haiku. I just love seeing that specialized LLMs are being developed.

      yes, and this is why we need model routing

        castform founder here: totally! we also think model routing is also a post-training problem i.e. getting a model to predict the difficulty of a task and match it to the right model -> we're gonna be sharing more on that soon :)

          I’ve been trying to do this with a pet project and admit that I’m getting terrible results. My small llm as a classifier/router stage just isn’t getting the job done.
