When does this happen?

IF Using a single LLM provider creates vendor lock-in, single point of failure, and potential cost inefficiency.

How others solved it

THEN Abstract LLM provider selection via a configuration dictionary. Support multiple providers (OpenAI, Google, Anthropic, xAI, DeepSeek, Qwen, GLM, OpenRouter, Ollama, Azure). Allow separate models for complex reasoning (deep_think_llm) and quick tasks (quick_think_llm). This provides flexibility and resilience.

config = {
    'llm_provider': 'openai',
    'deep_think_llm': 'gpt-5.4',
    'quick_think_llm': 'gpt-5.4-mini'
}
