OpenRouter Classifiers Route Inference by Work Type
OpenRouter classifiers point to a gateway layer that labels tasks, routes inference, and turns model choice into operations policy.
Signal contract
OpenRouter classifiers point to a gateway layer that labels tasks, routes inference, and turns model choice into operations policy. Model choice is becoming an operations policy problem. The gateway can observe work categories, route traffic, enforce constraints, and optimize cost or reliability without each app hardcoding every decision. Novelty: structural. Verification: source-linked.
