Shop for the cheapest model without lock-in

The cheapest SKU on a landing page is often the wrong unit (cached vs uncached, input vs output) or a model that is not actually serving.

1. 1.Compare models on /models and /compare — use the published list prices, not screenshots.
2. 2.Start traffic on anyrouter/auto so health-aware failover avoids a dead cheap SKU.
3. 3.Pin a specific id only after you have measured quality on your prompts.
