MODEL ROUTER · SCENARIO FIRST

Don't pick the most expensive model
pick the one that fits the job

TotalClaw lets each AI employee run on a different model. Everyday work is about speed and cost, critical work is about reasoning and reliability, long documents and images are about multimodal capability. Choose the scenario first, then the model.

Start with the scenario

Six kinds of work, and where to start with each

These are recommended starting points, not a definitive ranking. Your data, prompts and toolchain differ, so treat a small-scale test on your own tasks as the final word.

01Everyday office work and writing

Status reports, email, proposals, meeting notes, client communication

Kimi K2.6 02Software development and coding agents

Feature work, refactoring, debugging, long-running engineering tasks

GPT-5.3 Codex 03Complex decisions and high-stakes output

Strategy analysis, contract review, critical proposals, hard problems

Claude Opus 4.8 04High-frequency automation and batch work

Classification, extraction, structuring, support triage, workflow steps

Gemini 3.5 Flash 05Long documents and multimodal understanding

PDFs, images, tables and long-context material handled together

Gemini 3.5 Flash 06Cost-sensitive and domestic-first

Chinese-language operations, private deployment reviews, high-volume daily calls

  • Document parsing, field extraction and classification
  • Images, tables and long-context understanding
  • High-concurrency workflows and batch jobs
QualitySpeedValue

Good when: volume is high, work is repetitive and latency matters.

DeepSeekBest value

DeepSeek V4 Pro

deepseek/deepseek-v4-pro

Strong at reasoning and programming — a fit for complex work where a domestic model is preferred and cost still counts.

  • Complex analysis, mathematics and code
  • Chinese-language operations and agent toolchains
  • Domestic-stack and private deployment evaluations
QualitySpeedValue

Good when: hard tasks and cost control both have to be satisfied.

Alibaba CloudChinese operations

Qwen 3.7 Max

qwen/qwen3.7-max

Suited to Chinese business context, structured output and integration with the domestic ecosystem — a solid domestic primary or backup.

  • Chinese-language support, operations and knowledge Q&A
  • Tables, JSON and other structured output
  • Automation steps inside domestic business systems
QualitySpeedValue

Good when: the work is mainly Chinese and domestic ecosystem support matters.

Combination strategy

No company should be tied to a single model

Think of models as employees with different specialties: the primary handles the everyday, the specialist takes the hard problems, and the lightweight one absorbs high-frequency work.

Primary

Kimi K2.6 / Claude Sonnet 4.6

Covers most day-to-day business work, prioritizing stability, breadth and communication quality.

Specialist

Claude Opus 4.8 / GPT-5.3 Codex

Called only for critical decisions, complex reasoning and hard engineering work, which keeps cost in check.

High-frequency

Gemini 3.5 Flash / Qwen 3.7 Max

Absorbs classification, extraction, bulk generation and workflow steps so overall throughput stays smooth.

Recommended: prepare at least 20 real tasks per scenario for comparison. Anything touching legal, financial, medical or major business decisions must keep a human in the loop.

Run a real test

Don't guess at model choice — run your own work through it
