🚦 When GPT-5 Felt “Dumber” — The Hidden Risks of Model Routing

A single “autoswitcher” glitch recently made GPT-5 behave differently.
It wasn’t just a tech hiccup — it exposed something deeper about how AI systems decide which model answers you.

In the latest blog, I unpack:

  • What model routing actually is — and why it matters.
  • The risks for everyday users, developers, and enterprise leaders.
  • How routing extensions can reflect compliance, cost, and performance goals.
  • Why routing is not just backend plumbing — but a lever for control, trust, and competitive advantage.
  • Why model routing is a strategic capability every organization should own — not outsource.

If you’re building, buying, or scaling AI — this one’s worth your time.
