How to pick a model
- High-throughput simple tasks (classification, extraction, FAQ bots): pick the cheapest — Haiku 4.5, GPT-4o mini, Gemini Flash, DeepSeek V3.
- Complex coding & reasoning: Claude Opus 4.7 or o3 (thinking mode).
- Long documents (books, full codebases): Gemini 2.5 Pro (2M context) or Claude (1M).
- Native multimodal incl. audio + video: Gemini 2.5 — only one handling all four modalities.
- Self-host / on-prem: Llama 4, DeepSeek (open weights).

Pricing notes
- Volume discounts (OpenAI Tier 4-5, Anthropic Enterprise).
- Prompt caching: 50-90% cheaper on repeated prefixes.
- Batch API: 50% off, up to 24h delay.
- Open-weights via DeepInfra / Together / Fireworks can be even cheaper.
