Frequently asked questions

How should I choose a provider?

Start with automatic routing. To select a public provider, choose its code and copy the updated example. Retries remain within that provider.

How are performance metrics updated?

Metrics update from request records. Latency covers completed successful requests; metrics without valid records display —.

Can I use this model in another client?

The client must support the model’s protocol and a custom API URL. See tool integration guides ↗
