No material decision change: model vendor mix
25h ago · confidence green 65/100
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 2026-09-08 if a primary vendor publishes a price change, deprecation date, or licence restriction covering a model already carrying production traffic.

Decision / watch: 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.

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
Review by: 2026-09-08
Threshold outcome: incomplete coverage
Decision consequence: Do not infer stability; restore owned-source coverage and reassess the maintained vendor mix.
