===== GPT-5 (low / medium / high reasoning) =====
* Pros: - Best at structured reasoning, complex refactoring, and long-context comprehension. - High-reasoning variant excels in debugging multi-file codebases and explaining architectural decisions. - Medium-reasoning offers nearly equal code accuracy at lower credit cost.
* Cons: - Slower for small edits or single-function tasks.
* Use: - High: full-system analysis, architectural planning, deep debugging. - Medium: mid-complex refactors, writing new modules. - Low: quick utility generation, single-function edits.

GPT-5-Codex
* Pros: Specialized for pure code completion, boilerplate generation, and syntax precision.
* Cons: Weak reasoning; not ideal for architectural design or explanation.
* Use: Code generation, scaffolding, template expansion.

GPT-4o / GPT-4.1
* Pros: Fast, balanced generalist. Reliable language-code interleaving.
* Cons: Narrower context, weaker long-term reasoning than GPT-5.
* Use: Documentation writing, lightweight code reviews, mixed natural-language and code tasks.

gpt-oss 120B (Medium)
* Pros: Good for rapid prototyping and experimentation.
* Cons: Inconsistent accuracy, occasional hallucinations.
* Use: Sandbox code sketches or exploratory tasks.
