The models and gateways worth defaulting to. Reach for a proprietary frontier family (Claude, GPT, Gemini) when you need peak capability, an open-weight family (Llama, Qwen, DeepSeek, Mistral) when you want to self-host or fine-tune, or a gateway like OpenRouter when you want to compare providers and add fallbacks without rewriting integrations.
