Building Reliable AI Systems with Smart Routing

Reliability is critical for production AI systems. TarqaAI's smart routing capabilities automatically handle failures, optimize latency, and balance load across providers.

What is Smart Routing?

Smart routing goes beyond simple load balancing. It intelligently selects the best model for each request based on:

• Current latency and response times
• Model availability and health status
• Cost optimization preferences
• Request complexity and requirements
• Geographic routing for compliance

Automatic Failbacks

Configure fallback models for high availability:

import { TarqaAI } from '@tarqa/sdk';

const client = new TarqaAI({
  apiKey: 'your-api-key',
  enableFallbacks: true
});

// Automatically tries alternative models if primary fails
const response = await client.chat.completions.create({
  model: 'gpt-4o',
  messages: [{ role: 'user', content: 'Analyze this data' }],
  fallback_models: ['claude-3-5-sonnet', 'gemini-2.0-flash']
});

Custom Routing Rules

Define intelligent routing based on request characteristics:

const client = new TarqaAI({
  apiKey: 'your-api-key',
  routing: {
    rules: [
      {
        condition: 'request.messages.length > 10',
        action: 'route_to',
        target: 'gpt-4o' // Complex conversations
      },
      {
        condition: 'request.max_tokens < 100',
        action: 'route_to',
        target: 'gemini-2.0-flash' // Simple responses
      }
    ]
  }
});
