Factory Router | Factory.ai

Factory Router is a tool designed to optimize the cost and performance of AI models by automatically selecting the most suitable model for each task, thereby reducing token spend by 20-25% while maintaining high performance levels. It addresses the challenges faced by engineers who often default to using the most performant, yet costly, models for tasks that do not require such high capabilities. By routing tasks to the appropriate models based on their requirements, Factory Router ensures efficiency and reliability, even in situations where providers degrade or face capacity constraints. It provides enterprise-grade reliability with 99.9%+ request reliability by dynamically selecting paths across different models and providers. The tool also allows for customizable routing guidance to reflect an organization's specific workflow needs, offering standard controls over model availability and governance. Currently in private research preview, Factory Router aims to make high-quality, cost-effective operations the default for organizations by effectively balancing the cost/performance trade-off, as illustrated by its performance on benchmarks like Terminal-Bench 2 and Legacy-Bench relative to Claude Opus 4.7.
