Best Practices

// Don't do this
if (isSimpleQuery) {
  model = 'gpt-4o-mini';
} else {
  model = 'gpt-4o';
}

// Do this instead
const response = await client.chat.completions.create({
  model: 'gpt-4o',
  messages,
  routing: { strategy: 'cost_optimized' },
});

const client = new OpenModex({
  apiKey: 'omx_sk_...',
  fallbackModels: ['claude-3.5-sonnet', 'gemini-2.0-flash'],
});

// Bad — user waits 3-10 seconds staring at a spinner
const response = await client.chat.completions.create({
  model: 'gpt-4o',
  messages,
});

// Good — user sees text appearing in real-time
const stream = await client.chat.completions.create({
  model: 'gpt-4o',
  messages,
  stream: true,
});

const response = await client.chat.completions.create({
  model: 'gpt-4o',
  messages: [{ role: 'user', content: 'What are your business hours?' }],
  cache: { enabled: true, ttl: 3600 },
});

const client = new OpenModex({
  apiKey: 'omx_sk_...',
  timeout: 60_000, // 60 seconds for complex tasks
});
