Auto routing
Auto is the default mode in OPAW. It chooses where your request goes so you do not have to. For each request, Auto picks one suitable free provider, sends your prompt there, and returns a single answer.
How Auto picks a provider
When you send a request, Auto looks at which free providers are enabled and can handle it, then selects one of them. It sends your prompt to that one provider and waits for the reply. Auto does not call every provider for a single request. It uses one at a time.
Fallback on failure
If the chosen provider fails or does not respond, Auto falls back to another suitable free provider and tries again. This helps a request succeed even when one provider is having trouble. The provider behind an answer can change from one request to the next because of this.
Free endpoints only
Auto uses free endpoints only. The FREE_ONLY setting stays on, so paid endpoints are never used. If a free provider reaches a limit, that limit can pause a mode for a while, and Auto may switch to another free provider to keep working.
In short
- Auto picks one suitable free provider per request.
- It uses a fallback if the first provider fails.
- It never calls every provider for one request.
- It only uses free endpoints.
