Cheaper LLM labelling

What happened

I have a small project where I needed to label commits as either “maintenance” or “new development”. The obvious way to do it is with a cheap but relatively capable llm , like gpt 5.6 Luna. I tested it on a small set of commits and manually verified its labelling, and it emitted the same label as I would have for the entire test set. That was good enough for me to roll out on a wider scale.
