Use this when an open image/video model choice or requested alternatives need prices for a simple single-output brief. One read returns up to three compatible models with current customer prices, favoring different prices; fewer if fewer meet every constraint. Use actual imported owned assets, exact mode, reference roles/combinations and explicit duration/resolution/audio requirements. Unspecified presets are disclosed; do not silently change requirements. Include a baseline model for freshly calculated savings; disclose configurationDiffers and never compare currencies. Keep labels/explanations brief, with no routine lip-sync caveats; price alone does not prove quality. Do not use to substitute an explicitly chosen model. No quotes, wallet reads, reservations, spending or media generation. After choice inspect get_model_details and prepare_generation for a fresh exact quote, then wait for approval. Invite a different model, resolution, duration or budget for a new quote and price comparison. For multi-shot production/attempt allowances use calculate_project_budget.
