Postel’s Law

Be conservative in what you send, and liberal in what you accept. As an AI gateway, GoModel sits between clients and providers that do not always behave the same way. We want strict, predictable behavior on our side without becoming brittle when the outside world is messy.

​
Good defaults

GoModel should be useful with minimal setup. Defaults are not filler. They are part of the product. A gateway should start fast, work locally, and make the obvious path easy before asking users to learn every knob.

Twelve-Factor influence

We are broadly aligned with the Twelve-Factor App. Not as blind doctrine, but as a useful baseline for building software that is portable, operationally clear, and easy to run across environments.
