Model Routing

Quick Answer

Automatically selecting the most cost-effective model based on task requirements.

Model routing dynamically selects models based on criteria. Simple tasks use cheap small models, complex tasks use expensive large ones. Routing can be rule-based or learned. Routing enables cost optimization without refactoring. Routing requires task classification. Effective routing reduces average cost. Routing is increasingly important for cost-conscious deployments. Multi-model systems benefit from smart routing.
