Applies only when `model` is a model name with no provider prefix (e.g. 'gpt-5.5'); ignored for a concrete 'provider/model' id, which already names its provider.

HTTPValidationError: properties: detail: items: $ref: '#/components/schemas/ValidationError' type: array title: Detail type: object title: HTTPValidationError ProviderRoutingPreferences: properties: sort: anyOf: - type: string enum: - cost - speed - latency - exact - type: 'null' title: Sort description: >- What to optimise for when several providers serve the requested model. 'cost' (default) picks the cheapest for this request's shape; 'speed' the highest tokens/second; 'latency' the fastest to first token; 'exact' the most reliable at producing well-formed tool calls / structured output. Health is always a filter first — no mode will route you to a failing provider. Can also be written as a model suffix, e.g. 'gpt-5.5:speed'. sticky: anyOf: - type: boolean - type: 'null' title: Sticky description: >- Keep a conversation on the provider holding its prompt cache. On by default, and only ever active for models whose providers discount cache reads. Set false to route every request independently on price instead. Naming an explicit `sort` also takes priority over cache affinity. allow_fallbacks: type: boolean title: Allow Fallbacks description: >- Whether other providers of the same model may be tried when the chosen one fails. Set false to pin the request to the single best provider: it then fails rather than silently moving to another seller. useful when a cache-warm prompt would cold-miss elsewhere. This governs PROVIDERS of the requested model only; models you list in `fallbacks` are your own choice and are always kept. default: true allowed_providers: anyOf: - items: type: string type: array - type: 'null' title: Allowed Providers description: >- Restrict routing to these providers, e.g. ['openai', 'anthropic']. Only providers that serve the requested model are considered, so an entry that does not sell it is simply inert. If none of them do, the request fails rather than falling back to a provider you excluded. Case-insensitive. Applies to routed providers only. a concrete 'provider/model' you named in `fallbacks` is your own choice and is kept. type: object title: ProviderRoutingPreferences description: >- How to choose between SELLERS of one model — not which model to use. Only meaningful when `model` is a canonical name (`gpt-5.5`) rather than a concrete `provider/model` — with a concrete id there is nothing to choose between. For choosing the MODEL itself see ``router_candidates`` and ``model="@edenai"``, which is a different router.
