What's inside
The major-vendor AI engines 1116 actually uses, with installation walkthroughs at the command line, SDK setup, cost data, and the interchangeability patterns that let you A/B vendors without rewriting your app. Anthropic Claude (canonical), OpenAI Codex (code generation specialist), Google Gemini (long-context + multimodal). What each is good at, what each costs, and how to wire them so a price/feature shift doesn't lock you in.
