You can reduce AI model operating costs by activating economy mode, which auto-selects cheaper Layer 3 models for tasks like code writing and architecture reviews while preserving your Layer 0, 1, and 2 preferences.
Economy mode works by using an internal mapping table to automatically route code writing, prompts, and triage tasks to cheaper Layer 3 models whenever the mode is active for your session.
Yes, you can persist cost-optimized model selection by writing `economyMode: true` to the `.squad/config.json` file, which keeps the setting active until you explicitly deactivate it.
No, activating economy mode does not override existing preferences; it specifically targets Layer 3 model selection for cost reduction while preserving your Layer 0, 1, and 2 configurations.
The best way to disable economy mode is through its explicit deactivation path, which reverses the persistent `economyMode: true` flag in your `.squad/config.json` and restores standard model selection.
