Semantic Router is an open-source system designed to intelligently route requests across multiple large language models based on the semantic meaning and complexity of user queries. Instead of sending every prompt to the same model, the system analyzes the intent and reasoning requirements of the request and dynamically selects the most appropriate model to process it. This approach allows developers to combine multiple models with different strengths, such as lightweight models for simple queries and more advanced reasoning models for complex tasks. The router operates as an intelligent layer between users and model infrastructure, capturing signals from prompts, responses, and contextual data to improve decision-making. It can also integrate safety and monitoring mechanisms that detect issues such as jailbreak attempts, hallucinations, or sensitive information exposure.
