What Is Model Routing?

Model routing sends each request to the right model based on quality, latency, cost, and availability.

What Is Model Routing? is an important topic for teams building AI features at scale. OneMux gives developers one API layer for leading model providers, so teams can improve reliability without rewriting every integration.

A unified API helps engineering teams separate product logic from provider-specific details. It also makes usage tracking, billing, routing, and future model expansion easier to manage.

For most teams, the best starting point is an OpenAI-compatible request path, clear model selection, and a cost-aware routing strategy. OneMux is built around that workflow.
