AI decision
OpenAI vs Anthropic for a Product
Short answer: run the same 20 product questions on both. Pick quality × latency × price. Abstract the client so a vendor outage is a config change, not a rewrite.
How we choose
Claude often wins long, careful generation and refactors. OpenAI often wins cheap classification, image, and “everyone already has a key.” Neither matters if your authz is broken.
Cost
Use the API cost calculator. A “smarter” model that needs fewer retries can be cheaper. Measure tokens for your actual prompts, not the blog benchmark.
FAQ
Should I use both?
A fallback model is smart. Two products in one UI is not.
