English Version
Choosing the right base model is one of the most critical decisions in LLM engineering. The wrong choice can mean the difference between a successful deployment and a failed project - regardless of prompt engineering or fine-tuning quality.
Interview Relevance: Model selection questions appear in 90% of LLM engineer interviews. Companies want to see systematic decision-making, awareness of trade-offs, and understanding of the current model landscape.

Question 2: Latency-Optimized Selection (Anthropic Interview)
Question: "You're building a real-time chat application where users expect responses to start streaming within 200ms. The application needs to handle conversations with up to 20K tokens of context. Which model would you choose?"
Answer:
"This is a latency-constrained problem. Let me walk through the analysis:
Latency Components:
Total latency = Network + Queue + TTFT + Generation
- Network: 20-50ms (unavoidable)
- Queue: 0-100ms (depends on load)
- TTFT: Time to first token (key optimization target)
- Generation: Depends on output length
Model Comparison for TTFT (20K context):
| Model | TTFT P50 | TTFT P95 | Context Cost |
|---|---|---|---|
| GPT-5.2 | 800ms | 1500ms | $60 per 1M tokens |
| GPT-4o | 400ms | 700ms | $50 per 1M tokens |
| Claude Sonnet 4.5 | 300ms | 600ms | $60 per 1M tokens |
| Claude Haiku 4.0 | 150ms | 250ms | $5 per 1M tokens |
Decision: Claude Haiku 4.0
Reasoning:
- TTFT: 150ms P50 leaves 50ms budget for network/queue
- Context: Handles 200K (10x requirement)
- Cost: 12x cheaper than alternatives
- Quality: 82% on MMLU is sufficient for chat
Optimization techniques to hit 200ms:
class OptimizedChatbot:
def __init__(self):
self.client = anthropic.Anthropic()
async def stream_response(self, messages, context):
# Technique 1: Parallel context processing
# Pre-process context while user is typing
processed_context = await self.preprocess_context(context)
# Technique 2: Streaming from first token
async with self.client.messages.stream(
model="claude-haiku-4.0-20250305",
max_tokens=1024,
messages=messages,
system=processed_context,
) as stream:
# Stream starts as soon as first token ready
async for text in stream.text_stream:
yield text # User sees response immediately
# Actual latency achieved: 120-180ms P95
When to escalate to better model:
- User explicitly requests "detailed" or "comprehensive" answer
- Detected complex reasoning task (math, code)
- Premium tier users
This hybrid approach: 90% Haiku (fast+cheap), 10% Sonnet (quality)"

Best Practices
1. Model Evaluation Checklist
MODEL_EVALUATION_CHECKLIST = {
"before_selection": [
"☐ Define task type clearly (classification/generation/reasoning)",
"☐ Estimate request volume (QPS, daily, monthly)",
"☐ Determine budget constraints ($/month, $/request)",
"☐ Measure latency requirements (P50, P95, P99)",
"☐ Identify accuracy baseline (benchmark or human performance)",
"☐ Assess context length needs (avg, max)",
"☐ Consider data sensitivity (public/private/highly sensitive)",
],
"during_evaluation": [
"☐ Test with representative examples (100+ samples)",
"☐ Measure actual latency, not theoretical",
"☐ Calculate real costs (including context, retries)",
"☐ Compare against baseline (existing solution or human)",
"☐ Test edge cases and failure modes",
"☐ Evaluate consistency (run same prompt 10 times)",
],
"after_selection": [
"☐ Set up monitoring (latency, cost, quality)",
"☐ Define escalation criteria (when to use better model)",
"☐ Plan for model upgrades (versioning strategy)",
"☐ Document decision rationale (for future reference)",
"☐ Schedule periodic re-evaluation (quarterly)",
]

- No one-size-fits-all: Model selection depends on specific requirements
- Cost-performance trade-off: Frontier models aren't always worth it
- Hybrid approaches: Often optimal to use multiple models
- Re-evaluate periodically: Model landscape changes rapidly
- Start simple: Use APIs initially, optimize later
Decision Priority:
- Must-haves: Accuracy, latency, context length
- Nice-to-haves: Cost optimization, advanced features
- Consider later: Self-hosting, custom models

مقدمة
اختيار النموذج الأساسي المناسب هو أحد أهم القرارات في هندسة نماذج اللغة الكبيرة. الاختيار الخاطئ يمكن أن يعني الفرق بين نشر ناجح ومشروع فاشل.
الأهمية في المقابلات: أسئلة اختيار النموذج تظهر في 90% من مقابلات مهندسي LLM.
المشهد الحالي للنماذج (2025)
نماذج الطبقة الأولى (أعلى قدرة)
| النموذج | المعاملات | السياق | نقاط القوة | نقاط الضعف | التكلفة (إدخال) | التكلفة (إخراج) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| GPT-5.2 | ~1.8T | 128K | أفضل استدلال، برمجة | غالي | $3.00/1M | $15.00/1M |
| Claude Opus 4.5 | ~800B | 200K | أفضل كتابة، تحليل | بعض التأخر في الرياضيات | $15.00/1M | $75.00/1M |
| Claude Sonnet 4.5 | ~350B | 200K | أفضل قيمة، سريع | أقل قليلاً من Opus | $3.00/1M | $15.00/1M |
| Gemini 2.0 Ultra | ~500B | 1M | أطول سياق | أبطأ، غالي | $7.00/1M | $21.00/1M |

دراسات حالة من العالم الحقيقي
دراسة حالة 1: اختيار نموذج GitHub Copilot
المتطلبات الأولية (2021):
- المهمة: إكمال وتوليد الكود
- QPS المتوقعة: 10,000+ (الذروة)
- الكمون: < 300ms P95
- الدقة: يجب أن يتفوق على الأدوات الموجودة
النماذج المُقيَّمة:
- GPT-3 Davinci (175B) - بطيء جداً، غالي جداً
- GPT-3 Curie (6.7B) - أسرع لكن أقل دقة
- Codex (12B، متخصص في الكود) - النقطة المثالية
القرار: Codex
- أسرع بنسبة 40% من Davinci
- أكثر دقة بنسبة 10% في مهام الكود
- فعّال من حيث التكلفة على نطاق واسع
أسئلة المقابلات الشائعة
السؤال 1: مقايضة التكلفة-الأداء (مقابلة OpenAI)
السؤال: "أنت تبني بوت لمراجعة الكود. يحتاج لمراجعة 10,000 PR يومياً. كل PR به ~500 سطر كود. الميزانية $5,000/شهر. أي نموذج ستختار ولماذا؟"
الإجابة:

"""تحليل منهجي للمقايضات."""
prs_per_month = 10_000 * 30
input_tokens_per_pr = 500 * 4 # 2,000 رمز

monthly_budget = 5_000

print(f"{model_name}: ${monthly_cost:,.2f} {within_budget}")
print("\nالتوصية: Fine-tuned GPT-4o Mini")
print(" - التكلفة: $432/شهر (91% تحت الميزانية)")
print(" - الجودة: ضبط دقيق على معايير الشركة")
print(" - الكمون: سريع كفاية للمعالجة في الخلفية")

الخلاصة
النقاط الرئيسية:
- لا يوجد حل واحد يناسب الجميع: اختيار النموذج يعتمد على المتطلبات المحددة
- مقايضة التكلفة-الأداء: النماذج الرائدة ليست دائماً تستحق
- النهج الهجين: غالباً الأمثل استخدام نماذج متعددة
- إعادة التقييم دورياً: مشهد النماذج يتغير بسرعة
- ابدأ بسيطاً: استخدم APIs في البداية، حسّن لاحقاً
