What It Means

Model routing is the intelligent selection of which AI model should handle a specific request. Instead of using one model for everything, routing systems analyze the task requirements (complexity, speed needs, cost sensitivity, specialized capabilities) and direct requests to the optimal model. This maximizes quality while minimizing costs by not using expensive models for simple tasks.

Examples

  • Routing simple questions to fast, cheap models
  • Sending complex analysis to more capable models
  • Using specialized coding models for programming tasks

How This Applies to ARKA-AI

ARKAbrain is ARKA-AI's intelligent routing system that automatically selects the best model from your configured providers for each request.
