Bugs in Advanced Models: Performance Issues and Data Needs

There’s some bugs with your more advanced models and it performs worst as Claygent that the cheaper models I made a screen recording https://screen.studio/share/sEEPbpet?state=uploading Ultimately I’m trying to find 1. How many people are in the “IT departments” 2. How many are “senior” 3. LI URLs of the people found Maybe my approach is not right but nonetheless thought it worth sharing that the better models fail worst than the weaker ones…

That’s actually super valuable feedback thanks for sharing. You’re right that sometimes the higher-tier models (like GPT-4o) inside Claygent can overthink or get rate-limited on structured queries, especially when you’re asking for counted results + LinkedIn URLs in one step. The cheaper/faster models (like Claude Haiku or GPT-4o mini) tend to perform better because they parse the results directly rather than reasoning through summaries. For your specific use case (IT department size, seniority, and LI URLs), a more reliable approach is:
1.
Use “Find People by Department” to isolate IT.
2.
Add a formula to count and filter for senior titles.
3.
Pull LinkedIn URLs directly from the enrichment instead of relying on the AI parsing.
You can still use Claygent to summarize insights (like % seniority), but let structured enrichments handle the heavy lifting that combo tends to be both cheaper and more accurate.

Find People by Department is an enrichment per se or you’d use claygent for this?

I tried this way and it’s failing It stops at 2-3-4 people when there could be 10-20
