[cost\_intel] Content moderation with 4o-mini on adversarial inputs

For high-stakes moderation facing jailbreak attempts, use o1-preview to evaluate; 10x cost justified only for the 5% borderline cases that evade cheap heuristics, catching gradient-based attacks cheap models miss

Journey Context:
Cheap models fail on adversarial prompts \(e.g., 'DAN' roleplay, Base64 obfuscation\). Reasoning models can unpack intent via deliberation. Cost optimization: Tiered defense - regex/4o-mini for 95% obvious cases, o1 for the 5% adversarial 'maybe' pile.
