Episode notes
Automated Model Tracker
- Mark built a workflow that tracks new models from OpenRouter and runs favorite prompts through them.
- The workflow judges whether a new model matters and stores results in Google Sheets for review.
Newer Models Aren't Always Superior
- Newer models are not always better; older models sometimes outperform on specific tasks.
- Rely on empirical tests rather than assuming the latest release is superior.
Design For Volume And Redundancy
- Define 'production grade' by volume and concurrency and design queuing and redundancy accordingly.
- Use n8n's native evaluation nodes to monitor metrics and have an LLM act as a judge for consistency.
