Complexity Tier

← All terms · Orbit Tools

Also called Execution Tier, Tier, Model tier

A complexity classification (low / medium / high) on each prompt that determines which model and agent runs it. Configurable in Settings.

What it is

Every queued prompt declares a `complexity:` tag (low, medium, high). Settings → Execution Tiers maps each tier to a specific model and agent. Low routes to the cheapest configured option; high routes to the most capable. The user-defined config means routing is deterministic, not subject to model interpretation.

When you would use it

You configure Execution Tiers once during setup and adjust as your workflow evolves. The tier on each prompt determines what runs it.

Common operations

  • Configuring which model runs each tier
  • Routing routine prompts to cheap models
  • Routing complex prompts to capable models
