Would you rather tune one model’s reasoning depth or route across two models?
Summary
A reflection on the trade-offs between using a single trillion-parameter reasoning model with adjustable depth (like Ring-2.6-1T) versus routing between separate specialized models, exploring which approach is cleaner or more cost-effective for agent workflows.
