No material decision change: model vendor mix

25h ago · confidence yellow 55/100

No material decision change: model vendor mix — engineering and product leaders choosing which model vendors carry production traffic. Today's evidence does not move the current split of production traffic across model vendors. Revise by 2026-08-27 if a primary vendor publishes a price change, deprecation date, or licence restriction covering a model already carrying production traffic.

Affected decision: model vendor mix

Operator: engineering and product leaders choosing which model vendors carry production traffic

Assumption: the current split of production traffic across model vendors

Mechanism: vendor pricing, rate limits, deprecation notices, and licence terms decide what a request costs and how fast a team can move traffic between models

Threshold: a primary vendor publishes a price change, deprecation date, or licence restriction covering a model already carrying production traffic
