The premise
Agents tied to a single region or provider will be down when that provider is.
What AI does well here
- Health-check primary and standby providers continuously.
- Failover with prompt and tool-call schemas that work cross-provider.
- Degrade to a smaller model if the primary is unavailable.
What AI cannot do
- Guarantee identical behavior across providers.
- Failover stateful conversations without context loss.
