Production AI systems require more than a single model — they need intelligent routing to match each request to the right model based on complexity, latency, cost, and availability. Static routing rules break under real-world variability, so adaptive routing evaluates requests in real time across multiple factors. A centralized AI control plane ensures consistent routing logic across teams and services, preventing multi-model sprawl and fragmentation. The piece also distinguishes proactive routing from reactive fallback logic and previews cost control as the next challenge.
