-## What Sucks
-
-Honest problems. Not spin.
-
-**Expert query detection is weak.** 75% of expert queries get routed to cheap/mid tiers. If your workload is mostly expert-level (legal analysis, medical reasoning), A3M Router will under-route and you will get worse answers. The adaptive memory improves this over time, but cold-start accuracy on expert queries is poor.
-
-**24% exact-tier accuracy.** The 82.5% figure is ±1 tier. Exact match is 24%. The router is good at "roughly right," not "precisely right." For cost optimization this is acceptable. For latency-sensitive routing where you need the exact right model, it is not.
-
-**Keyword-based, not semantic.** The classifier uses keyword matching and heuristics, not embeddings. It cannot understand query intent beyond surface-level patterns. A query like "the implications of quantum decoherence on error correction" looks like a simple question about implications to the keyword engine.
-
-**0 stars, 3 days old.** No community. No enterprise support. No SLA. The npm download spike could be bots. The code has not been audited. Use in production at your own risk.
-
-**Node.js only (for now).** If your stack is Python-only, the proxy mode works fine. But the library API is JavaScript. A Python SDK is planned but does not exist.
-
-**Not a replacement for LiteLLM.** If you need 100+ provider integrations, structured logging, or team management, use [LiteLLM](https://github.com/BerriAI/litellm). A3M Router does one thing: route queries to the cheapest capable model.

 Why keyword matching works so well: LLM query classification is shallow. "Write Python code" is obviously a code query. "Translate this to French" is obviously translation. The edge cases where BERT helps — ambiguous queries that need semantic understanding — are maybe 10-15% of production traffic. Whether that's worth a 500MB model and GPU requirement depends on your scale.
