We ran 21,000 agentic simulations. A blend of open-source models matched the top performers.

Most teams build around one model. Find the best, lock in, optimize around it. We tested the opposite: what happens when you route across multiple cost-efficient open-source models instead? On over

We switched LLMs mid-conversation 91k+ times. 48.3% of players failed on their very first guess.

Here’s what this means for every Dev and PM building with AI in 2026. No one using your product is thinking about the model. They’re judging the result. After 91,362 guesses, there was no measurable
