A Context-Aware Approach to LLM API Routing
2026-05-18
# A Context-Aware Approach to LLM API Routing Profiling your prompts is the first step to understanding where your API spend actually goes: how much is duplicate requests, how much is simple tasks sent to expensive models, and how much is genuinely complex work that needs a frontier model. Prompt Optimizer's 3-tier router handles the first two automatically — caching duplicate requests at zero cost, and routing simple, unambiguous prompts through deterministic rules with no LLM call. See the architecture breakdown for how the layers work and what they do (and don't) do to your token count.
