8-Factor Smart Routing

Intelligent SLM/LLM Hybrid with Weighted Scoring

A novel routing engine that evaluates every query across 8 weighted factors to decide whether a fine-tuned local SLM or a cloud LLM should handle it. Privacy-sensitive queries stay local. Complex reasoning goes to the cloud. Cost and latency are optimized automatically.
