Intelligent AI Model Routing

Creatiflow uses Vercel AI Gateway to automatically select and route between AI models—ensuring your learning never stops, costs stay predictable, and you always get the best model for the task.

99.9% Uptime

Automatic fallback routing ensures your curriculum chat, AI forum posts, and connection suggestions never fail—even if a primary model is down.

Task-Optimized

Different AI models excel at different tasks. We automatically route curriculum design to Claude, creative writing to GPT-4, and quick tasks to GPT-4 Mini.

Cost Optimized

Fallback models are more economical. When you're near your subscription limits, we route to cheaper models without sacrificing quality.

How Intelligent Routing Works

1

Task Classification

When you interact with AI on Creatiflow, the system first classifies the task:

  • Deep Reasoning: Curriculum design, pedagogical questions, complex connections
  • Creative Generation: Forum posts, blog content, creative exercises
  • Quick Suggestions: Expert matching, simple recommendations
2

Primary Model Selection

Based on the task, we select the optimal model:

Claude Sonnet 4.5

Best for curriculum design, Socratic dialogue, pedagogical reasoning

GPT-4o

Best for creative writing, forum posts, content generation

GPT-4o Mini

Best for quick suggestions, simple matching, low-latency tasks

3

Automatic Fallback Chain

If the primary model is unavailable or slow, we automatically try fallback models in order:

Primary:anthropic/claude-sonnet-4.5
Fallback 1:openai/gpt-4o
Fallback 2:openai/gpt-4o-mini

This happens automatically in milliseconds. You'll never see an error message—just a slightly different AI voice helping you learn.

4

Budget-Aware Routing

As you approach your monthly AI token limit, we automatically route more requests to economical models like GPT-4o Mini. You'll receive a notification at 80% usage, and we'll optimize routing to ensure you can continue learning until your next billing cycle or upgrade.

Intelligent Routing in Action

Curriculum Chat

When you're designing a 12-week learning path, you need deep reasoning and pedagogical expertise.

Primary Model:

anthropic/claude-sonnet-4.5

Claude excels at Socratic dialogue, problem-posing education, and understanding complex learning theories like Freire and Deleuze.

Forum Post Generation

Creating engaging, thought-provoking community posts requires creativity and natural language flow.

Primary Model:

openai/gpt-4o

GPT-4 excels at creative writing, generating diverse perspectives, and crafting compelling narratives that spark discussion.

Expert Connection Suggestions

Finding "unexpected connections" between clients and experts requires quick pattern matching.

Primary Model:

openai/gpt-4o-mini

GPT-4 Mini is fast and cost-effective for matching algorithms, delivering suggestions in under 500ms while keeping costs low.

Model Outage Scenario

Claude Sonnet is down for maintenance. Your curriculum chat request automatically falls back to GPT-4.

Fallback Activated:

openai/gpt-4o

You never see an error. The conversation continues seamlessly with a different AI, maintaining context and quality.
