Hybrid architecture design
Every task routed to the cheapest intelligence that can do it well.
The engagement, in one paragraph
Design of a routing layer that sends each request to the right model: small local models for easy tasks, frontier APIs for the hard ones, decision models or rules where they beat both. You get the cost of small models with the reliability profile each task actually needs.
Standard for every engagement
What you receive
The deliverables.
Routing architecture and escalation policy
Classifier or rules that assign tasks to models
Fallback and degradation behavior for outages
Cost and latency model with measured projections
Reference implementation your engineers can extend
Fit check
Signs you need this.
Every request goes to the biggest model, whatever the request is
Latency SLAs fail because simple queries queue behind hard ones
You want frontier quality without frontier prices on easy tasks
One vendor outage would take your whole AI surface down
None of these fit?
Briefs arrive in every shape. Describe the problem in plain language, the scoping step exists to find the right service, including when the right answer is none of them.
