Smart Router Mode: Intelligent Query Routing in LLM Councils
Learn how Smart Router mode analyzes queries and automatically selects the best AI model for each specific task.
What is Smart Router Mode?
Smart Router mode analyzes incoming queries and automatically routes them to the most appropriate AI model, optimizing for accuracy, speed, and cost.
How Smart Routing Works
Query Analysis
The router examines:
- Query type (factual, creative, technical)
- Domain (coding, legal, medical, general)
- Complexity (simple, moderate, complex)
- Time sensitivity (current events vs. evergreen)
Model Selection
Based on analysis, the router selects:
- Coding queries → GLM-5, Claude
- Current events → Grok
- Long documents → Gemini
- Creative writing → Claude
- General knowledge → GPT-4o
- Cost-sensitive → Nanbeige, smaller models
Fallback Logic
If primary model fails or underperforms:
- Automatic retry with alternative
- Graceful degradation
- User notification
Router Intelligence
The router itself uses an LLM to classify queries:
- Fast, lightweight classification
- Pattern matching for common types
- Learning from user corrections
Benefits of Smart Routing
Optimized Accuracy
Right model for the job means better answers.
Cost Efficiency
Don't use expensive models for simple queries.
Speed
Route to faster models when appropriate.
Simplicity
Users don't need to know which model to pick.
Advanced Configuration
Custom Routing Rules Define your own routing logic:
- Keywords trigger specific models
- Domain-specific defaults
- User preferences
Multi-Model Routing For complex queries, route to multiple models:
- Parallel processing
- Consensus aggregation
- Confidence weighting
SPRAPP Smart Router
Enable Smart Router in settings:
- Toggle Smart Router on
- Configure model preferences
- Set cost/performance balance
- Optionally define custom rules
The SPRAPP uses Smart Router as the first layer of intelligence before council deliberation.
