Partial A routing layer across model providers behind one API key is vibe-codeable. The defensible parts are real traffic-based evals, negotiated provider capacity and pricing, and capacity forecasting, which need proprietary data and commercial relationships.
What it would actually take: Build an OpenAI-compatible gateway that proxies to multiple providers, logs latency, cost, and quality per request, and runs eval harnesses to pick models per use case. The hard parts are the eval datasets, reliable capacity and pricing deals with providers, and forecasting, which require data and business relationships a solo builder won't have.
