AI agent model selection works best as a measured loop: verify provider access, set an explicit primary model, test real tasks, and keep fallbacks separate from routine switching.

An LLM idle watchdog catches silent model streams before they hang an agent turn. The 2026.5.12 fix escalates through profile rotation and configured model fallback instead of leaving the turn stuck.
