fallback_models
A list of alternative models that are switched to automatically when a call to the primary model fails. Their capabilities, such as tool calling and structured output, must be kept aligned with those of the primary model.
Timeline (last 90 days)
When the primary model fails, fallback_models can shift the call to another provider, provided the fallback model supports the same tools and features (such as function calling schema, JSON mode, and context window size).
The difficulty of fallback switching lies not in initiating a retry but in capability alignment, otherwise the switch will fail due to incompatibility.
