Best Practices

Route by task — Use cheap models for simple tasks, powerful models for complex ones
Monitor spend — Query /api/me/usage before expensive operations
Implement fallbacks — If one model returns 503, fall back to another
Use streaming — For chat models, stream responses for better UX
Set max_tokens — Avoid paying for unnecessary output
