Learn/Core Concept What is model routing? Model routing is the practice of dynamically selecting which AI model handles each request based on the task type, complexity, or cost requirements. Instead of using one model for everything, a router analyses the input and directs it to the most suitable model from a pool of options. This approach optimises both performance and costs by matching tasks to models. Simple queries might go to a fast, cheap model whilst complex reasoning tasks get routed to more powerful options. Projects like oh-my-openagent demonstrate this by intelligently switching between Claude, GPT, and Gemini based on what each model does best, though some providers are starting to block such tools.
