Description
No single model wins every task. Aster intelligently routes work across models: aster-code for coding agents and technical tasks; aster-work for custom agents, workflows and general work. Paid, prepaid usage. Originally launched September 23, 2026; this is Aster's separate Product Hunt appearance.

Could you build this?
Partial While an API gateway forwarding requests to various LLMs is straightforward, building genuinely intelligent, accurate benchmark-driven routing with low latency and fallback handling requires ongoing evaluation systems and proxy infra.
What it would actually take: The architecture would feature an ultra-low latency proxy (e.g., Go or Rust with Cloudflare Workers) sitting between users and model providers. It requires real-time latency/error rate tracking, prompt categorization classifiers to evaluate task complexity, and an automated continuous benchmarking harness to update routing policies dynamically. The hardest parts are sub-10ms routing classification and handling context-length differences or vendor API anomalies reliably.
