RoutePlex supports two routing modes: automatic and manual.

RoutePlex AI Mode (Recommended)

Let our intelligent router select the optimal model automatically. By default, RoutePlex analyzes your prompt — detecting intent, complexity, and domain — to pick the best model for each request. No strategy parameter needed.

You can optionally override auto-routing with a specific strategy:

Strategy	Optimizes For	Best For
(omitted)	Prompt-based auto-routing	Most requests (default)
`cost`	Lowest cost	High-volume, simple tasks
`speed`	Lowest latency	Real-time applications
`quality`	Best output	Complex reasoning, coding
`balanced`	Cost/quality balance	Fixed weight trade-off

Manual Mode

Specify the exact model you want to use. Full control over model selection.
