Where the workflow shifted
LLM providers, Foundation Models integration, routing, and fallback all point to products that should not depend on a single model path.
Global products face different regions, costs, compliance expectations, and availability. Multi-model support becomes business resilience.
Tool names are not outcomes
The signal matters when it changes how a team ships, reviews, or recovers work, not when it only names another tool.
Check permissions and failure
- Define the default model, low-cost model, privacy-first model, and failure fallback for key tasks
- Keep the test narrow: one low-risk task or tool entry before connecting permissions, logs, failure handling, and human takeover to production
What still needs proof
Without routing and fallback, one model change can break user experience directly. Keep the original source open so the announcement, the evidence, and this site's interpretation stay separate.
