modelrouter
Routing and cost checks for mixed model stacks.
NAME
modelrouter — routing and cost checks for mixed model stacks
DESCRIPTION
Frontier probe for builders routing work across closed APIs, open-weight models, local agents, and self-hosted workflows. It starts with token-cost estimates, local-agent readiness checks, model-switch risk briefs, and workflow portability reports.
BUYERS — who calls into this cluster
AI platform teams, local-agent builders, cost-control agents, and model-routing systems that need to choose the cheapest capable path before execution.
WEDGE — why this exists vs. incumbents
Model routers optimize calls, but agents still need preflight advice about cost, capability, fallbacks, and portability. ModelRouter makes the routing decision itself callable and measurable.
