Model Selection

Definitions

1. The process of choosing which model is best suited for a task, product, or request based on quality, speed, cost, safety, and operational constraints. Model selection is rarely one-dimensional because the strongest model on benchmarks may not be the best production choice.

   In plain English: Choosing which model to use for a particular task or product.

   Example: "Their model selection criteria favored lower latency and stronger citation behavior over raw benchmark rank."
