Maybe we need an AI that picks which AI for us to use

> Your prompt will be processed by a meta-model and routed to one of dozens of models (see below), optimizing for the best possible output.

How does it determine which model to send it too? There's a lack of details in the url. Maybe they're not even sure? :)

Most likely some custom model that evaluates the prompt and figures out the best target.

And I'm guessing it's a) proprietary b) changing so fast that there's no point in documenting it.

I don't know why you'd choose to use it if you had no idea what it's doing differently. It could just be a round robin/random picker, or based on which of their APIs aren't getting used much.

And then you're sending massive refactoring tasks to a model that can't handle them and waste money on Claude 4.5 when the user asks the model to edit the readme

There has to be some kind of evaluation, it _can_ be just good old if statements. But it's definitely not a "what's cheapest" round robin =)
