OpenAI or Anthropic — which do you recommend?

It depends on the task, and we build the integration layer so switching providers later is a config change, not a rewrite. We reach for Claude models when the task involves long documents, careful instruction-following, or tool use in an agentic workflow; GPT-4o and its smaller variants are a strong default for general-purpose chat and classification at lower cost. For clients with strict data-residency requirements, we’ve also deployed self-hosted open-weight models on a private VPS — slower to set up and usually a step behind the frontier labs on raw quality, but the data never leaves your infrastructure.
