-# A3M Router — Independent Benchmark
-
-A3M Router is evaluated on two dimensions:
-
-1. **Latency** — How much overhead does the gateway add? (real API calls)
-2. **Routing Accuracy** — How well does the complexity classifier sort queries into tiers? (offline, 200 queries)
-
-Both benchmarks are reproducible — scripts live in `scripts/`.
-
----
-
-## 1. Latency Benchmark
-
-**The question everyone asks:** *"How much latency does a gateway add?"*
-
-**The answer:** +96ms for passthrough, +236ms for full intelligent routing — on a 138ms baseline.
-
-![A3M Router Benchmark](benchmark-chart.png)
-
-*Left: latency comparison. Right: cost savings projection. Dark theme.*
-
-### The TL;DR
-
-```
-Direct call to Groq:          ──▸ 138ms  (baseline)
-                              │
-Through A3M forced route:     ──▸ 234ms  (+96ms = proxy overhead)
-                              │
-Through A3M auto (routed):    ──▸ 374ms  (+140ms = routing decision)
-```
-
-**+96ms** buys you: injection detection, PII redaction, cache lookup, cost tracking  
-**+140ms** buys you: intelligent model selection that saves 62% on API costs
-
-**Total overhead: 236ms.** Less than the time it takes to blink.
-
-### The Details
-
-| Scenario | Time | What's happening |
-|:---------|:----:|:-----------------|
-| **Direct to Groq** | **138ms** | One HTTP call. No protection. No routing. No cost tracking. Every query uses the same expensive model. |
-| **Through A3M (forced route)** | **234ms** | Request hits A3M proxy. Guardrails scan for prompt injection (17 patterns) and PII. Cache checks for semantic duplicates. Cost tracker logs the call. Request forwarded to Groq. Response logged. |
-| **Through A3M (auto route)** | **374ms** | Everything above, plus: A3M's router extracts 12 signals from the query text — domain, task type, complexity, verb intensity, multi-step structure. Scores it. Assigns a tier. Selects the cheapest capable model. Forwards the request. |
-
-**The extra 140ms for auto-routing is the intelligence.**
-
-### The Trade-Off
-
-```text
-                        Without A3M                  With A3M
-                        ───────────                  ────────
-Response time:          138ms                        374ms
-Monthly API bill:       $341 (all premium)           $124 (smart routed)
-Security:               None                         17-pattern injection detection
-Cache hits:             None                         30%+ semantic cache
-Provider failures:      Manual retry                 Circuit breaker + auto failover
-Cost visibility:        End-of-month surprise        Per-query tracking + budget alerts
-```
-
-**236ms of overhead saves you $2,604/year.** That's about $11 per millisecond.
-
-### Why Most Gateways Don't Publish This
-
-Every gateway adds latency. Most don't publish their numbers because they're either:
-
-1. **Just a proxy** (litellm in passthrough mode) — ~50ms overhead, but no routing intelligence
-2. **Too slow** — adding 500ms+ when you include their full pipeline
-3. **Not measured** — nobody actually benchmarks their own stack
-
-A3M publishes this because the numbers are honest and the trade-off is clear: **pay 236ms, save 62%, get production-grade security.**

-| Free Tier Recall | 92.0% | Simple queries correctly routed to $0 models |
-| Cheap Tier Recall | 78.3% | Standard code/translation routed to cheap |
-| Mid Tier Recall | 36.0% | Complex reasoning often routed cheaper (fallback-safe) |
-| Premium Tier Recall | 45.0% | Expert queries routed to premium |
-| Over-routing (waste) | 7.0% | Sent to a stronger but costlier model than needed |
-| Under-routing (risk) | 28.5% | Sent weak first; auto-fallback in <2s |

-# Chinese Provider Reliability Playbook
-
-This playbook captures retry/fail-fast guidance for Chinese LLM providers used by A3M.
-
-## Why this exists
-
-A generic `429 => retry` rule is often too coarse. Some Chinese-provider 429/4xx states are account/quota policy states that should fail fast instead of burning retries.
-
-## A3M policy
-
-- Retry:
-  - transient network failures (`ECONNRESET`, `ETIMEDOUT`, 5xx)
-  - throttling with temporary overload semantics
-  - 429 with explicit `Retry-After` timing
-- Fail fast (non-retryable):
-  - auth/policy/billing/account states (401/402/403)
-  - account abnormal / access terminated
-  - hard quota exhaustion messaging (hour/week/month quota exhausted, org TPD exceeded)
-
-## Implemented in code
-
-- `src/routing/providerRetry.ts`
-  - `isPermanentProviderStateError(...)` now guards retries.
-
-## Validation
-
-- `eval/run_fault_injection.js`
-  - Includes `no_retry_on_chinese_quota_account_errors` scenario.
-
-## Operational guidance
-
-- Track provider-specific errors by normalized category:
-  - `transient`, `rate_limit_transient`, `quota_hard`, `auth`, `account_policy`, `server`
-- Use this categorization to:
-  - reduce wasted retries
-  - improve fallback quality
-  - produce cleaner incident dashboards
