Tradeoffs

Without workload routing, teams may overuse this model for requests that fit lower-cost tiers.
Standard context limits may require chunking or retrieval strategies for large documents.
Low-cost tiers can still underperform on high-consequence decisions without escalation paths.
Text-only modality can limit workflows that rely on image, audio, or document interpretation.
