The concept of model routing is emerging as a critical component for generative AI platforms, addressing the inefficiency of using a single model for all tasks. Model routers act like hospital triage systems, directing prompts to the most appropriate AI model based on complexity, urgency, cost, and desired performance. This approach allows simpler queries to be handled by smaller, cheaper models, while complex reasoning is sent to more capable ones, leading to reduced costs, lower latency, and more efficient compute usage.
