A developer is building an adaptive model routing system for their AI chatbot, moving beyond simple tiering to categorize user prompts. Instead of asking a model to assess its own difficulty, which can lead to misrouting due to the Dunning-Kruger effect, the new approach asks the model to classify the prompt's task type. This classification, which cheap models are good at, allows for more accurate routing to appropriate model tiers based on predefined categories like coding, casual chat, or research. AI
