What model routing is
The ssv.asia lanes
Route | Pool it meters | Best for ssv.asia/free | Free tokens | Everyday questions, drafting, rewriting ssv.asia/pro | Pro tokens | Long refactors, deep analysis, priority speed ssv.asia/aec | Pro tokens (AEC pass) | Architecture/engineering with cited RAG ssv.asia/foundation | Foundation tokens | Heaviest frontier work (+ Opus boost)
Why routing beats one model
- Right tool per task — a one-line question and a 2,000-line refactor deserve different models.
- Cost control — cheap models for routine work, premium only when it matters.
- Resilience — one lab's outage does not stop your work.
- No lock-in — new leaders are adopted automatically.
