Routor automatically routes each request to the right capable model based on task and complexity, while keeping the decision visible. Unlike a simple model gateway, you can let Routor choose automatically, select a routing tier, or pick an exact model. Every response shows what was chosen, the category, tier, confidence, and why it was routed that way so you get automation without giving up control.

Could you build this?
Partial Wrapping multiple LLM APIs behind an OpenAI-compatible proxy is easy, but sub-10ms prompt intent classification and embedding-based routing at scale requires specialized low-latency systems infrastructure.
What it would actually take: The architecture requires an ultra-low-latency edge proxy (built in Rust or Go) running lightweight local embedding or classification models (e.g., ONNX runtime or custom quantized classifiers) to evaluate token complexity and intent in <10ms. The challenge lies in streaming proxy throughput, failover logic without breaking active HTTP streams, and high-accuracy classification before generating tokens. Achieving this under stringent latency targets demands deep distributed systems and ML inference optimization skills.
