The Routing Layer

Every task is classified and sent to the model that should actually do it — on capability and on cost.

Live No public endpoint Router

The problem it solves

Using one frontier model for everything is both wasteful and weak: you overpay for summarising a log file, and you under-think the architecture decision. Choosing manually every time does not scale, and quietly defaults to whatever is habitual.

How it works

01
Classify
what kind of task is this, really
02
Price
cheapest tier that can meet the quality bar
03
Dispatch
to a vendor CLI, an API lane or a sub-agent
04
Fall back
if a vendor is down, the next rung takes it
05
Review
high-stakes output gets a second vendor's opinion

Under the hood

Why it matters

Vendor independence is not an ideological position. It is what stops one company's pricing page from being a single point of failure in your working life.
