List the capabilities you actually need
Separate text, image, video, and audio needs. List any requirements for streaming, tool calls, structured output, references, and asynchronous jobs. Break a compatibility claim into specific endpoints and parameters. If you depend on native-provider projects, plugins, or computer-operation features, verify them separately rather than inferring them from a model name.
Compare using the same task
Keep the input, output requirements, and budget consistent. Record the actual model, channel, latency, errors, and charge. Normalize units and settings when comparing prices: requests, images, seconds, and tokens are different measures. One success establishes only that attempt; assess relevant time windows and failure paths before relying on it.
