  A3M Router is a TypeScript LLM routing library that classifies query complexity using 5 keyword-based signals (domain detection, task indicators, query structure, action verb intensity, specificity) instead of neural networks. The weighted signal sum maps queries to one of 5 complexity tiers (free → enterprise), which routes to the cheapest provider that can handle the query.

  The core insight is that keyword-based routing is within of BERT-based routing for nearly all queries, at zero infrastructure cost. The routing signals are composable and adjustable — if a particular domain routes poorly, you add domain-specific patterns without retraining anything.
