Provider shortlist

Use Microsoft as a model-level shortlist, not a single default choice.

Start from the cost, context, and popularity picks below, then open the model pages or head-to-head comparisons before choosing an API.

Cost pick Phi 4 $0.14 sample workload
Context pick Phi 4 Mini Instruct 131.07K context window
Popular pick Phi 4 #139 popularity signal
When to avoid Verify model fit Do not choose by provider name alone. Compare model-level input price, output price, context window, release timing, and current availability before production use.
