Day 15 of Green, Efficient AI is live — The Route Before the Model.
Day 15 of Green, Efficient AI is live — The Route Before the Model.
The model is usually the most expensive component in an AI system. So why does every request still reach it?
In many production pipelines, the answer is reflex, not architecture. A telecom team I describe in this issue discovered that the bulk of their LLM traffic was answering questions a database could have handled in milliseconds.
Day 15 lays out a four-rung ladder — Filter, Classify, Route, Call — for the route every request should travel before it ever sees the model.
