Stop choosing a model for every task.
Today you pick a model per task and lean on the most expensive one to be safe. With Factory Router you choose once and it picks the best model for each session.
- 01Select Factory Router.
Choose it in the model picker in the Factory CLI or Desktop App.
- 02Factory Router picks the right model per session.
Drawing on a pool of frontier and efficient models, it routes to a cheaper model where one can handle the work, and keeps a frontier model where the task needs it.
- 03It recovers if a model struggles.
If the selected model gets stuck, Factory Router moves the session to a more capable model.
Same prompts. Different cost.

Reliability you can count on.
When a provider degrades, rate limits hit, or capacity gets constrained, your sessions keep going. Factory Router routes across models, providers, and capacity to deliver 99.9%+ request reliability.
Provider failover
If a provider path degrades, Factory Router keeps the session running on the same model through a healthy provider.
Dedicated TPM
Enterprise customers get reserved throughput for critical work instead of relying only on shared public capacity.
Rich frontier models
Factory Router keeps frontier models available as they come online, so high-complexity work gets the strongest model class.
US-hosted open-source models
Route eligible work to US-hosted open-source models when you need cost-efficient or controlled options.
Routing that reflects how your organization works.
Routing guidance brings your team's context into Factory Router, so automatic model selection reflects how work actually happens inside your organization. The same policy surfaces that govern other Factory models apply here, so admins manage access, compliance, and eligibility without a separate control plane.
