Model Selection Guides: Treat the framework as a starting point. Weight criteria for your workload, document assumptions, compare a small candidate set, and run representative evaluations before making a production commitment.

Model Selection Guides: Sources and examples provide context, not guarantees. Recheck current provider documentation, data-handling terms, pricing, regional availability, and benchmark protocols when those details affect the decision.
