<p>With the rapid proliferation of large language models (LLMs) — each optimized for different strengths, style, or latency/cost profile — routing has become an essential technique to operationalize the use of different models. Plano provides three distinct routing approaches to meet different use cases: <a class="reference internal" href="#model-based-routing"><span class="std std-ref">Model-based routing</span></a>, <a class="reference internal" href="#alias-based-routing"><span class="std std-ref">Alias-based routing</span></a>, and <a class="reference internal" href="#preference-aligned-routing"><span class="std std-ref">Preference-aligned routing</span></a>. This enables optimal performance, cost efficiency, and response quality by matching requests with the most suitable model from your available LLM fleet.</p>

This compact 1.5B model delivers production-ready performance with low latency and high accuracy while solving key routing challenges.</p>
|
||
<p><strong>Addressing Traditional Routing Limitations:</strong></p>
|
||
<p><strong>Human Preference Alignment</strong>
|
||
Unlike benchmark-driven approaches, Arch-Router learns to match queries with human preferences by using domain-action mappings that capture subjective evaluation criteria, ensuring routing decisions align with real-world user needs.</p>
|
||
<p><strong>Flexible Model Integration</strong>
|
||
The system supports seamlessly adding new models for routing without requiring retraining or architectural modifications, enabling dynamic adaptation to evolving model landscapes.</p>
|
||
<p><strong>Preference-Encoded Routing</strong>
|
||
Provides a practical mechanism to encode user preferences through domain-action mappings, offering transparent and controllable routing decisions that can be customized for specific use cases.</p>
|
||
<p>To support effective routing, Arch-Router introduces two key concepts:</p>
|
||
<ul class="simple">
|
||
<li><p><strong>Domain</strong> – the high-level thematic category or subject matter of a request (e.g., legal, healthcare, programming).</p></li>
|
||
<li><p><strong>Action</strong> – the specific type of operation the user wants performed (e.g., summarization, code generation, booking appointment, translation).</p></li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
<p>Both domain and action configs are associated with preferred models or model variants. At inference time, Arch-Router analyzes the incoming prompt to infer its domain and action using semantic similarity, task indicators, and contextual cues. It then applies the user-defined routing preferences to select the model best suited to handle the request.</p>
|
||
<p>In summary, Arch-Router demonstrates:</p>
|
||
<ul class="simple">
|
||
<li><p><strong>Structured Preference Routing</strong>: Aligns prompt request with model strengths using explicit domain–action mappings.</p></li>
|
||
<li><p><strong>Transparent and Controllable</strong>: Makes routing decisions transparent and configurable, empowering users to customize system behavior.</p></li>
|
||
<li><p><strong>Flexible and Adaptive</strong>: Supports evolving user needs, model updates, and new domains/actions without retraining the router.</p></li>
|
||
<li><p><strong>Production-Ready Performance</strong>: Optimized for low-latency, high-throughput applications in multi-model environments.</p></li>

<p>Here are common scenarios where Arch-Router excels:</p>
|
||
<ul class="simple">
|
||
<li><p><strong>Coding Tasks</strong>: Distinguish between code generation requests (“write a Python function”), debugging needs (“fix this error”), and code optimization (“make this faster”), routing each to appropriately specialized models.</p></li>
|
||
<li><p><strong>Content Processing Workflows</strong>: Classify requests as summarization (“summarize this document”), translation (“translate to Spanish”), or analysis (“what are the key themes”), enabling targeted model selection.</p></li>
|
||
<li><p><strong>Multi-Domain Applications</strong>: Accurately identify whether requests fall into legal, healthcare, technical, or general domains, even when the subject matter isn’t explicitly stated in the prompt.</p></li>
|
||
<li><p><strong>Conversational Routing</strong>: Track conversation context to identify when topics shift between domains or when the type of assistance needed changes mid-conversation.</p></li>

<p>The following features are <strong>not supported</strong> by the Arch-Router model:</p>
|
||
<ul class="simple">
|
||
<li><p><strong>Multi-modality</strong>: The model is not trained to process raw image or audio inputs. It can handle textual queries <em>about</em> these modalities (e.g., “generate an image of a cat”), but cannot interpret encoded multimedia data directly.</p></li>
|
||
<li><p><strong>Function calling</strong>: Arch-Router is designed for <strong>semantic preference matching</strong>, not exact intent classification or tool execution. For structured function invocation, use models in the Plano Function Calling collection instead.</p></li>
|
||
<li><p><strong>System prompt dependency</strong>: Arch-Router routes based solely on the user’s conversation history. It does not use or rely on system prompts for routing decisions.</p></li>
