Audit your model routing to ensure you're actually getting Opus 5.5
◆ 95RelevanceOn a story from The New Stack4h ago
Lower pricing for top-tier intelligence improves your unit economics, but silent routing to older models can break fragile agentic workflows. You should implement strict version pinning and observability to ensure performance doesn't degrade during peak loads.
Takeaways
- Pin specific model versions rather than using generic aliases.
- Re-evaluate your unit economics following the 20% price reduction.
- Monitor output quality to detect hidden fallbacks to legacy models.
