model routing is a super interesting question

  • i think an effective router needs to live in the harness; routing is inherently domain specific
  • the most exciting thing about routing is the potential for cost savings
  • the hardest question here is how you judge if a router is doing a good job

we're starting with simple routing logic in open-swe; will build out a better router as pain points come up!

would love to hear about if folks have built effective routers and how they've gone about that :) or any other thoughts that folks have
