The title feels misleading. Why clickbait on that when you can just be genuine about the architecture?

The title does not match the article title: “We Upgraded to a Frontier Model and Our Costs Went Down”.

I have rewritten the article to be slightly shorter:
“Let a cheap agent decide if the expensive one is needed.”

Looking at the diagram, is this seriously a case of replacing basic functional concepts like "write to clickhouse" or "have we seen this before" to a model? could those be actual function calls in some language?
just seems wasteful all around. having an agent in the critical path when a regular expression (or similar) could do just seems odd. yeah haiku is cheap but re.match() is cheaper.
