  • Model fallback

    Model fallback is the use of an alternate model or provider when the preferred route cannot handle a request or fails a defined condition. A fallback policy can respond to outages, rate limits, unsupported capabilities, timeouts, or application-level checks.

  • Model gateway

    A model gateway is a service layer that gives applications a common interface to one or more model providers. Depending on its design, it can handle routing, authentication, retries, fallbacks, usage tracking, and request policies.

  • Model routing

    Model routing is the process of selecting which AI model handles a request or a step in a workflow. A routing policy can consider the task, required capabilities, expected quality, price, latency, and provider availability.
