Why lock-in is a business risk
Pricing, rate limits, and model behavior change. Workflows that hard-code one provider inherit that volatility.
A harness that swaps models behind a stable interface protects delivery when requirements shift.
Practical selection heuristics
Use stronger reasoning models for long documents, multi-step analysis, and regulated drafting. Use faster/cheaper models for classification, routing, and high-volume drafts with HITL.
Choose Gemini-oriented paths when multimodal or Google Cloud–native constraints dominate; choose based on enterprise agreements your security team already approved.
How we run evaluations
Build a small golden set from your workflow. Score accuracy, latency, and cost. Re-run when providers ship new models.
