Routing layers

Hybrid architecture design

Every task routed to the cheapest intelligence that can do it well.

Design of a routing layer that sends each request to the right model: small local models for easy tasks, frontier APIs for the hard ones, decision models or rules where they beat both. You get the cost of small models with the reliability profile each task actually needs.

Deliverables

  • Routing architecture and escalation policy
  • Classifier or rules that assign tasks to models
  • Fallback and degradation behavior for outages
  • Cost and latency model with measured projections
  • Reference implementation your engineers can extend

Signs you need this

  • Every request goes to the biggest model, whatever the request is
  • Latency SLAs fail because simple queries queue behind hard ones
  • You want frontier quality without frontier prices on easy tasks
  • One vendor outage would take your whole AI surface down
