Frequently asked questions

How does the LLM selector choose models?

It blends the benchmark categories that matter for the job you pick (for example coding weights coding and agentic results), removes models that break your constraints, and optionally trades score for price. Every pick lists the reasons.

Can I share a result?

Yes. Your answers are stored in the page URL, so copying the link reproduces the same shortlist.

Is there an API?

Yes: GET /api/recommend?job=coding&budget=5&open=1 returns the same shortlist as JSON.
