Distinguish access from automatic selection
A unified API lets your application address multiple models through a common interface. Automatic model selection is a separate feature that needs explicit rules and documented behavior.
With TextCortex, select an available model in each request. Start with a task-to-model mapping in your application so the destination is predictable and easy to evaluate.
Compare catalog breadth and regional scope
Include required proprietary models, such as GPT, Claude or Gemini, as well as open-weight options. Then identify which exact deployments meet the regional requirements of each feature.
Do not substitute a general catalog list for an EU routing policy. A fallback model must satisfy the same constraints as the primary model for that request.
Ask these questions before choosing a router
Apply the same questions to TextCortex, OpenRouter, EURouter or any gateway on your shortlist.
- Which model identifiers and capabilities are available?
- How are destinations, retries and fallback paths selected?
- What usage information and errors reach the client?
- Which API and provider-specific parameters are supported?
- What rates and fees apply to the chosen routes?
Why choose TextCortex
