Multi-Model Strategies

Bottom Line Up Front: Chain models deliberately. Ideation (fast), depth analysis (reasoning), synthesis (research). Costs less than high-capability models everywhere. Effective workflows chain models deliberately. Fast…

4.1 Using Different Models for Different Stages

Design workflows: ideation (fast) → analysis (reasoning) → synthesis (research).

  1. Ideation (Fast): Generate volume quickly at minimal cost. Most options are rejected.
  2. Analysis (Reasoning): Add rigor. Weigh trade-offs with visible reasoning you can defend.
  3. Synthesis (Research): Gather current info across sources, integrate findings, deliver final recommendation.

4.2 Model Chaining and Handoff Patterns

Pass Model A's output to Model B with a new prompt. Model B builds on A's work, adding rigor where needed.

Structure:

  • Model A produces an artifact (outline, list, analysis)
  • Model B receives A's output plus new context specific to B's role
  • B's prompt explicitly references A's output, clarifying it's building on previous work

Example:

Model A (fast) generates 10 competitor pricing models. Model B (reasoning) receives them and analyzes each for assumptions, churn tolerance, and revenue vs. growth trade-offs. B doesn't redo analysis; it follows A's structure and adds depth to A's work.
