-## Why People Are Switching
+## What It Does
+
+A3M Router sits between your code and your LLM providers. It analyzes each query and routes it to the **cheapest model that can handle it**.
+
+- Simple Q&A → **free** providers (CommandCode, OpenCode)
+- Medium tasks → **fast/cheap** providers (Groq $0.59/1M, Cerebras $0.60/1M)
+- Complex reasoning → **premium** providers (GPT-4o, Claude)
+- If the cheap model fails → **automatic fallback** to stronger model
 
-**The Problem:** You're sending every query to GPT-4 at $30/1M tokens. But 47% of your queries are simple Q&A that a free provider handles perfectly.
+**Result: 40-70% cost savings with no quality loss on simple queries.**
 
-**The Solution:** A3M Router analyzes each query and routes it to the cheapest capable provider — automatically.
+
+## Demo
+
+![A3M Router CLI Demo](demo/demo.svg)
+
+*Simple queries → free providers. Complex queries → capable models. Automatically.*

-| Mistral | **$2.00** | 800ms | 90% |
-| OpenAI GPT-4 | $30.00 | 2100ms | 95% |
+You're sending every query to GPT-4 at $2.50/1M tokens. But research shows **~47% of queries are simple enough for cheaper models** ([RouteLLM, arXiv:2404.06035](https://arxiv.org/abs/2404.06035)).
 
-**Route to the right provider = 70% cost savings, 62% faster.**

+The Launch Story
+----------------
+- Day 1: 552 downloads. Modest. A few early adopters found it.
+- Day 2: 320 downloads. We thought the launch flopped. Fewer than Day 1.
+- Day 3: 1,903 downloads. 6x Day 2. 245% growth from Day 1.
+
+No blog post. No HN submission. No Twitter thread. No Product Hunt. Just developers telling other developers.
+
+Lesson: good tooling spreads on its own timeline. The Day 2 dip was demoralizing, but Day 3 proved that word-of-mouth compounds — it just takes a beat.
