Hard-coding the model ID makes future updates brittle and requires code changes to switch models. Consider making the model configurable (e.g., via an environment variable) and defaulting to grok-4-fast-non-reasoning. This improves maintainability and eases rollback if needed.

Suggestion

You could parameterize the model ID and provide a sensible default:

constmodelId=process.env.XAI_MODEL??'grok-4-fast-non-reasoning'returnxai(modelId)

Switching to a non-reasoning variant may change output quality/behavior (e.g., reasoning depth, tool-use capabilities, or structured output behavior). If the intent is performance/cost, consider a graceful in-provider fallback to the previous model before falling back to OpenAI to avoid surprising cross-provider differences when the new model is unavailable.

Suggestion

Add a secondary fallback to the previous xAI model before dropping to OpenAI:

try{returnxai('grok-4-fast-non-reasoning')}catch{try{returnxai(process.env.XAI_FALLBACK_MODEL??'grok-3-fast-beta')}catch{console.warn('xAI models unavailable, falling back to OpenAI:')}}

console.warn('xAI API unavailable, falling back to OpenAI:')
