[cost\_intel] Using o1 to generate 10k training examples for fine-tuning

Use 4o-mini for bulk synthetic data \(95% volume\); reserve o1 for generating adversarial/hard negative examples \(<5% of dataset\) to reduce costs by ~95% with minimal quality loss

Journey Context:
Bulk synthetic data needs diversity and speed, not deep reasoning. o1 is too slow and expensive for volume \($6 vs $0.15 per 1M tokens\). However, for 'reasoning chains' or adversarial examples that teach the model to reason, o1 is necessary. The mix: 95% cheap model for diversity, 5% reasoning model for hard negatives.
