This PR adds comprehensive documentation for Mini-A's dual-model feature that enables cost optimization by intelligently switching between a high-capability main model and a low-cost model.
What's New
Environment Variables
OAF_LC_MODELenvironment variable alongside the existingOAF_MODELDual-Model System Documentation
The documentation now explains how Mini-A's intelligent model selection works:
Practical Examples
Added real-world configuration examples for:
Enhanced Troubleshooting
New troubleshooting section covers dual-model specific issues like:
Benefits for Users
Cost Savings: Users can significantly reduce API costs by using cheaper models for routine tasks while maintaining quality for complex operations.
Transparency: Clear logging shows which model is handling each operation, making it easy to monitor cost optimization.
Automatic Quality Assurance: The smart escalation system ensures complex scenarios always get the attention of the more capable model.
Files Changed
README.md: Added dual-model configuration section and environment variable documentationUSAGE.md: Comprehensive dual-model guide with examples, troubleshooting, and best practicesThe documentation is designed to be user-friendly with practical examples that users can copy and adapt for their specific needs.
