Models

MESH supports two ways to pick a model: router modes (let MESH choose) and explicit model IDs (pin a specific model). Pass any of the IDs below as the model field on /v1/chat/completions. Receipts identify which model was actually used.

Router modes

Mode	Behavior
`auto`	Balanced choice — picks the best-fit model for the request shape
`cheapest`	Lowest expected cost
`fast`	Lowest expected latency
`best`	Highest-quality model for the request class

MESH house tier

Picking a model

{ "model": "auto" }
{ "model": "mesh/balanced" }
{ "model": "mesh/claude-sonnet-4.5" }

GET /v1/models returns the live machine-readable catalogue — IDs, context length, pricing, modalities, capabilities, supported parameters. GET /v1/models/{id} returns a single record. Treat the live API as the source of truth; this page is updated periodically.

Capability legend

streaming — stream: true returns SSE deltas.
tools / tool calling — accepts tools[] + tool_choice; returns tool_calls with finish_reason: tool_calls.
structured output — accepts response_format: { type: "json_object" | "json_schema" }.
vision — accepts image_url parts in messages.
reasoning — model emits structured reasoning tokens.
web search — model answers from real-time web search and returns citations alongside the completion.
embeddings — addressed via /v1/embeddings.

Receipts include x-mesh-upstream-cost-usd, x-mesh-margin-usd, x-mesh-total-usd, x-mesh-receipt-id on every response.
