Why it matters
Routing tasks to the right LLM aims to reduce coding-tool costs without giving up quality. If the preview holds up in broader use, engineering teams could keep frontier-level performance while cutting token spend.
Factory (@FactoryAI) introduced Factory Router, a model-selection system that it says automatically picks an LLM for each coding task to preserve performance while cutting token spend.
