DOS Smart Router Architecture

Auto-Tiered Engine

DOS Smart Router (model: "auto") dynamically classifies query intent, token volume, and reasoning depth in < 4ms to dispatch across 3 destination tiers with zero markup and 99.99% circuit breaker auto-failover.

Top Models Used by Smart Router6 Active Targets

Real-time dispatch distribution across specialized destination models based on prompt complexity and context requirements.

5-Step Routing Lifecycle

01model: "auto"
Request

Your application sends a standard OpenAI-compatible request with model set to auto.

02Simple • Medium • Complex
Complexity Check

DOS classifies the request as Simple, Medium, or Complex.

LengthCodeReasoningTechnical
03DOS.AI • Eligible Route
Route Decision

Simple and Medium use DOS.AI. Complex can use an eligible route from the live catalog.

04Catalog-driven
Provider Request

The gateway sends the request through the route resolved from the tier and current catalog configuration.

99.99% Auto-Failover
05X-Provider-Model
Visible Route

Response headers identify the requested and provider model so your application can inspect the route.

X-Provider-Model
Response Header Transparency Inspector
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
// Upstream audit metadata returned in every response
x-provider: "anthropic"

x-dos-route-tier: "tier-2-reasoning"
x-dos-routing-latency: "3.2ms"
x-dos-retail-markup: "$0.00 (0% Zero Markup)"
x-dos-failover: "none (primary upstream healthy)"
Respect Project BYOK

Honors your custom provider credentials with zero platform markups.

99.99% Circuit Breaker

Instant multi-provider failover when upstream encounters 429s or outages.

Zero-Markup Policy

100% official publisher list price. All enterprise discounts belong to internal margin.

Hard Budget Limits

Enforces strict per-key and agent spending ceilings before request dispatch.

API Integration

Use the DOS API to integrate Free (Auto) into your applications. Compatible with standard OpenAI SDKs for easy drop-in migration.
