01

Choose a coding workflow

Generate a feature, review a pull request, or plan a repository-wide refactor. Open the workflow that matches the change you need to make.

  • LLM API for code generation
  • LLM API for code review
  • LLM API for repository refactoring
02

Test coding models on your repository

Use real requirements, repository conventions, build commands, and review rules. A useful result must work in your codebase, not only look plausible in a response.

  • Patch correctness on your repository
  • Tool-call reliability
  • Latency for iterative work
  • Cost per accepted change
03

Measure the cost of a usable result

Include retries, tool calls, validation, escalation, and manual correction. Compare the total cost of results your application can actually accept, not token price alone.

Frequently asked questions

Which workflow should I start with?

Start with the highest-volume or highest-risk workflow for which you already have representative inputs and a clear definition of success.

How many models should I test first?

Start with the recommended model and one fallback. Add another only if neither meets the required quality, latency, or cost boundary.

What must stay the same during comparison?

Use the same inputs, context, tools, output limits, validation rules, and stopping conditions for every model.

Choose a model for this workflow

Compare a primary route and fallback using the same application inputs and validation rules.
