The strongest opportunities are in model routing and repeated prompt context. Provider usage and runtime traces agree that a large low-complexity request segment uses the most capable model, while repository evidence shows a stable instruction prefix repeated across calls. Retry behavior is worth tightening, but its measured impact is less certain.

Ranked recommendations

Ordered by evidence and practical priority

01

Route low-complexity extraction traffic to a smaller model

Structured extraction accounts for 38% of calls and has narrow outputs, stable latency, and low observed retry rates.

AIO-MODEL-001Model selectionhigh confidenceopen
02

Cache the stable policy and schema prefix

A large prompt prefix is identical across extraction calls and is assembled before request-specific context.

03

Bound duplicate retries after client timeouts

A small request cohort is retried after client timeouts even when the original inference later completes.

Tighten retrieval count for support answers

Candidate is plausible, but repository and runtime signals do not yet identify a safe context threshold.
