    def select(self, prompt_analysis, capabilities, constraints):
        """Select provider based on cost optimization"""
        # Calculate cost for each provider
        costs = {}
        for provider, caps in capabilities.items():
            estimated_tokens = self._estimate_tokens(prompt_analysis)
            costs[provider] = caps["cost_per_token"] * estimated_tokens
        
        # Select cheapest provider that meets requirements
        return min(costs.items(), key=lambda x: x[1])[0]

    def select(self, prompt_analysis, capabilities, constraints):
        """Select provider based on quality requirements"""
        # Determine quality requirements
        quality_requirements = self._assess_quality_requirements(prompt_analysis)
        
        # Select provider that meets quality requirements
        for provider, caps in capabilities.items():
            if caps["quality_score"] >= quality_requirements:
                return provider

        fallback_chain = self.fallback_chains.get(failed_provider, [])
        
        # Try each fallback provider
        for fallback_provider in fallback_chain:
            try:
                if self._is_provider_healthy(fallback_provider):
                    response = self._generate_with_provider(fallback_provider, prompt)
                    return response

        # Analyze prompt complexity
        complexity = self._analyze_complexity(prompt)
        
        # Get cost-effective models that meet requirements
        suitable_models = self._get_suitable_models(requirements)
        
        # Select most cost-effective model
        optimized_model = min(suitable_models, key=lambda x: x["cost_per_token"])
        
        # Apply cost optimization techniques
        optimized_prompt = self._optimize_prompt(prompt, optimized_model)

Best Practices

Provider Selection

1. Diversify Providers: Use multiple providers for redundancy
2. Monitor Performance: Continuously monitor provider performance
3. Cost Optimization: Use cost-based routing for non-critical requests
4. Quality Requirements: Match provider capabilities to quality needs

Fallback Strategy

1. Multiple Fallbacks: Configure multiple fallback providers
2. Circuit Breakers: Implement circuit breakers for failing providers
3. Graceful Degradation: Provide fallback responses when all providers fail
4. Recovery Testing: Regularly test fallback mechanisms

Cost Management

1. Model Selection: Choose appropriate models for use cases
2. Prompt Optimization: Optimize prompts to reduce token usage
3. Caching: Cache responses to avoid redundant API calls
4. Budget Monitoring: Set up budget alerts and limits
