What Does 'Model Shopping' Mean?

[ AI CULTURE ][ DEGEN ECONOMY ]

FORCE: Degen EconomyUNIVERSE: AI Compute EconomyCLUSTER: Model Selection

Deliberately trying out several different AI models on the same task before committing to one, treating model choice as an active decision worth comparing rather than just using whatever's default.

REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE

"Spent more time model shopping than actually writing the thing I was trying to get help with."

LORE & ORIGIN

Followed naturally once enough competing models became available that no single one was an obviously correct default choice for every task.
