Select the small model within its validated scope: Which model choice fits?

AIGP Understanding How to Govern AI Deployment and Use Easy

Use the smaller model because it meets the validated task requirement with lower resource cost.

The question

A research office needs an assistant to classify routine grant documents and extract fixed fields. Testing shows a small model meets the required accuracy, while a large model consumes substantially more compute and creates budget pressure. The approval decision must use the validated task scope, avoid unnecessary resource use, and retain post-deployment monitoring. Which model choice fits?

  1. Choose the small model solely because it is cheaper.
    Lower cost alone is not the decision rule; the model must also be suitable for the validated task and monitored after deployment.
  2. Select the small model within its validated scope and monitor it. ✓
    It meets the tested accuracy requirement at lower resource cost, while scope limits and monitoring address deployment uncertainty.
  3. Route difficult cases to the large model by default.
    The facts do not establish that a second model is needed, and default routing adds complexity and resource use beyond the validated design.
  4. Choose the large model despite its higher compute demand.
    The large model has no demonstrated need for this fixed-field task and conflicts with the stated resource constraint.
The trap
Do not infer that a larger model is preferable when the smaller model already meets the defined need.

How to remember it

Use the smaller model because it meets the validated task requirement with lower resource cost.
