An estimated 40 to 70% of enterprise AI tasks can run on models under 10B parameters, and teams that route work by complexity report 40 to 70% lower inference bills at equal quality. The three-tier pattern: small models for high-frequency execution, mid-tier for standard reasoning, frontier for orchestration and hard problems. Vertex AI (Gemini tiers plus self-hosted Gemma 4) and Amazon Bedrock (multi-model menu with Intelligent Prompt Routing) both support it natively. The article includes a live Transformers.js demo classifying support tickets in the browser for zero inference cost.
