DeepSeek V3.2
Extremely competitive coding and reasoning benchmarks at a fraction of commercial-API pricing — strong default for cost-sensitive batch workloads.
Open-weight hosting means latency and uptime vary by inference provider (DeepInfra, Fireworks, etc.) — pin a provider or add fallbacks for production SLAs.
Gemini 3.1 Pro
Native audio, video, and document understanding with a ~1M token context window — strong fit for multi-modal RAG and large-document analysis.
Output token cost is steep relative to input, and the largest context windows can be slow to fill — chunk large documents where possible.
