[cost\_intel] Using o1 for simple CRUD API endpoint generation

Use GPT-4o for boilerplate code; reserve o1 for algorithms with >O\(n²\) complexity, novel data structures, or competitive programming

Journey Context:
o1 adds 10-30s latency and 15x cost. For simple function generation, 4o achieves 95% pass@1; for complex algorithms \(e.g., dynamic programming with constraints\), o1 achieves 80% vs 4o's 25%. The cost-per-correct-answer cliff appears only when cyclomatic complexity exceeds a threshold.

environment: Code generation pipelines selecting models by complexity · tags: code generation latency complexity cost curve · source: swarm · provenance: OpenAI o1 Evaluation Results \(HumanEval\+ and Codeforces benchmarks\)
