Model Routing

The definitive resource for AI routing strategies, model gateways, and inference optimization.

Model choice is now an architectural decision.

AI systems no longer depend on a single model. Different requests call for different tradeoffs across quality, speed, cost, context, privacy, and reliability. The routing layer determines how those tradeoffs are made. It also determines whether a multi-model system is genuinely better than a fixed integration.

ModelRouter.com is a free, independent reference for understanding that layer. It explains the underlying ideas, compares the infrastructure available today, and gives technical teams a clearer basis for deciding what belongs in their own systems.

What is model routing?

Why teams stop sending every request to the same model, and what they add when they do.
