AI Model Routing
Build Your Own AI Router and Cut Unnecessary Costs

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.
