Last updated: 2026-02-09
Choose model classes by risk, latency, and cost constraints.
Decision checklist
- Route by task class
- Set budget ceilings
- Monitor fallback rates
Implementation notes
- Use small models for high-volume deterministic tasks.
Risk notes
- Aggressive routing can degrade answer quality if evals are weak.
