🗝️ RouteGPT (Beta)

RouteGPT is a dynamic model selector Chrome extension for ChatGPT. It intercepts your prompts, detects the user's intent, and automatically routes requests to the most appropriate model — based on preferences you define. Powered by the lightweight Arch-Router, it makes multi-model usage seamless.

Think of it this way: changing models manually is like shifting gears on your bike every few pedals. RouteGPT automates that for you — so you can focus on the ride, not the mechanics.

1. Clone and install dependencies

git clone https://github.com/katanemo/archgw/
cd demos/use_cases/chatgpt-preference-model-selector

2. Build the extension

npm install
npm run build

🧠 Set Up Arch-Router in Ollama

Ensure Ollama is installed and running.

Then pull the Arch-Router model:

ollama pull hf.co/katanemo/Arch-Router-1.5B.gguf:Q4_K_M

🌐 Allow Chrome to Access Ollama

Start Ollama with appropriate network settings:

OLLAMA_ORIGINS=* ollama serve

This:

• Sets CORS to allow requests from Chrome

⚙️ Configure Routing Preferences

1. In ChatGPT, click the model dropdown.
2. A RouteGPT modal will appear.
3. Define your routing logic using natural language (e.g., brainstorm startup ideas → gpt-4, summarize news articles → claude).
4. Save your preferences. Routing begins immediately.
