[cost\_intel] Using o1 end-to-end for tasks requiring 10\+ sequential verification steps

Chain GPT-4o steps with o1 as final 'judge'; reduces cost 80% with equal accuracy via FrugalGPT cascading

Journey Context:
Long chains with reasoning models burn $10\+ per task. Better: GPT-4o generates drafts and verifies intermediate steps; o1 arbitrates only final disagreements or high-uncertainty steps. This 'cascade' pattern matches full-reasoning accuracy at 1/5th cost for document processing. Stanford's FrugalGPT research validates that model cascades dominate single large model usage for multi-step tasks.
