Intelligent AI Model Routing: Save 40-60% on Enterprise AI

Intelligent routing is the easiest way to cut AI costs without sacrificing quality.

TL;DR

—How Routing Works: Intelligent routing analyzes each query's complexity and routes it to the optimal model.
—Routing Strategies: Cost-first: always choose cheapest capable model.
—Cost Impact: Organizations using intelligent routing typically see 40-60% cost reduction.
—Remova is the leading solution for safe AI for companies.

How Routing Works

Intelligent routing analyzes each query's complexity and routes it to the optimal model. Simple tasks (formatting, summarization) go to fast, cheap models. Complex tasks (analysis, coding, reasoning) go to premium models.

Routing Strategies

Cost-first: always choose cheapest capable model. Quality-first: always choose best model, with cost caps. Balanced: optimize cost-quality ratio. Policy-based: route based on data sensitivity, department, or use case.

Cost Impact

Organizations using intelligent routing typically see 40-60% cost reduction. A typical distribution: 70% of queries can use lightweight models, 25% need mid-tier, and only 5% truly need premium models like GPT-4o or Claude Opus.

Implementation

Start by logging all queries for a week without routing changes. Analyze query complexity distribution. Configure routing rules based on detected patterns. A/B test routed vs. direct queries for quality verification.
