Dynamic Model Tier Routing (3-Tier Economic Dispatch Protocol)

Overview

Routing 100% of an application's or agent's queries to a flagship frontier model (Claude 3.5 Sonnet, GPT-4o, o1) is financially and computationally wasteful.

In a typical engineering workflow, 70% of prompts consist of mechanical tasks (e.g., formatting git commit messages, parsing JSON logs, classifying error types, writing mock data, generating regex). Running mechanical tasks on flagship models costs 10x to 40x more and introduces 3x higher latency.

The Dynamic 3-Tier Routing Protocol classifies prompt complexity in 5 milliseconds and dispatches tasks to the lowest-cost model tier capable of achieving 100% technical precision.
