Intent-Based Model Routing π¦
Running every query through a premium model (like Llama-3-70B or GPT-4o) wastes computation. In production, we classify user intent using a fast, cheap router model (like a quantized 8B model or classifier) and steer the query to the correct specialized pipeline.
Routing Rule: General greeting? Return instant cached text. Math question? Send to Python tool pipeline. Deep coding question? Route to the primary engineering model.
