Practical Guidance

  • Start with the provider you already use in production.
  • Add a second provider when you need cost, resilience, or model specialization.
  • Use local or self-hosted providers when deployment control matters more than turnkey access.
  • Use presets for speed, then move to custom configuration only when the workload demands it.
