AI Model Routing

Build Your Own AI Router and Cut Unnecessary Costs

AI Model Routing

TL;DR

  • AI models differ significantly in cost and capability.
  • Smaller AI models can be surprisingly knowledgeable but struggle with complex tasks.
  • Larger AI models are powerful but can be inefficient for simple operations.
  • AI Model Routing assigns tasks to the most suitable model, optimizing cost and performance.
  • This routing can be automated, directing simpler tasks to less expensive models and complex ones to premium models.
  • Tools like Claude Code, OpenRouter, and n8n facilitate the implementation of AI Model Routing.
