For smaller organizations that run lean and would like to get to deploy a solution quickly. This is a solution that is easy and quick to develop. It has a good amount of customization. However, for advanced customization this might not be a good solution. I suggest experimenting with OpenAI API and then if the experimentation is successful then it is a good idea to optimize and try other LLM models.

Easy to setup, develop and deploy. The payload for the API is simple and has all the inputs required for simple projects. There are a good number of options of LLM models to optimize for speed, cost or quality of the answers. A larger token input might improve the overall usability.

Anthropic is only the best for coding and its really really expensive. So, if you're not making a coding app, I would stay away from it. On the other hand, Gemini models are dirt cheap but come with a bit of performance limitations, so i would use it for big volume non sofisticated use cases. The OpenAI API platform excels at providing best in class performance models, at not outrageous anthropic-like pricing.
