AI Model Selector Wizard

1. Primary use case

Choose the dominant scenario — it determines which models have a qualitative advantage.

2. IT ecosystem in your organization

Native integrations with office suites reduce deployment time and maintenance costs.

3. Monthly AI budget

Real costs: Copilot 365 ~ $30/user/mo; frontier API ~ $5-30/1M tokens; open-weight = GPU cost.

4. Expected query volume

At high volume, API costs grow quickly — cache and mini/flash models lower TCO.

5. Data and hosting requirements

Self-host = data control and no vendor lock-in, but requires MLOps competence and GPUs.

6. Regulatory and compliance requirements

Since 08.2025, GPAI regulations (AI Act) apply in the EU. Some providers signed the GPAI Code of Practice.

7. Deployment scale — who will use it?

For dozens of users, SaaS licenses (Copilot, Pro) are often simpler than per-token API.

8. Content and communication language

If Polish is critical (government, PL customer support), Polish models have a qualitative advantage.

9. Key integrations and tools

Check if the provider has native support for your tools — it reduces deployment costs.
