When adding a new AI provider's chat capability to a system like gbrain, there are two clean paths. Option A: patch the provider's recipe file to declare a chat touchpoint with model IDs — a one-time code change that's explicit and discoverable. Option B: alias the provider through the existing openai-compatible recipe by pointing its base URL at the new provider's OpenAI-shaped endpoint. A is cleaner but requires knowing the chat model IDs; B is faster but couples you to OpenAI's API shape forever.
