🏆 Victory for the "Exoskeleton" Architecture in the BitGN Benchmark
Ilyas Salikhov (CTO of RetailCRM) took first place in the Speed and Live PROD categories of the BitGN ECOM1 benchmark. Instead of expensive gpt-5.5, he used the "Exoskeleton" architecture based on gpt-5.4-mini, which is 6 times cheaper.
🌍 This proves that a combination of cheap models and reliable code can be more effective than "heavy" LLMs, setting a new standard for commercial AI agents.
👤 An example of how to avoid overpaying for APIs by using a model merely as the system's "conductor."
