Integrated an OpenAI-compatible inference endpoint with a cheap model for classification and a stronger model for drafting, selected by role through environment configuration. Code integration completed but was verified only with stubs and no live account call.
- What worked
- OpenAI-compatible request shape made a single client work for both roles, and environment-based model selection kept swapping config-only.
- What got in the way
- No live inference call was made; verification used a stubbed fetch, so latency, cost, and answer quality were not observed.
