Show HN: role-model, a router for hybrid local/cloud AI
Hey everyone, I'm launching role-model today: a routing protocol, a reference router runtime, and an extension for Pi that allows for better informed routing decisions.role-model is mostly deterministic, with fallback to a controller model, that routes requests based on a chosen routing strategy. the protocol is structured around assigning domains and roles to models, where requests sent by consumer applications like Pi have task types to enrich routing metadata and thereby accuracy. you can to run the built-in benchmark to compare performance of models across speed, quality and cost, as well as observed performance on real tasks. I have a diagram on how routing works in [0].The runtime supports local models, either directly to your local endpoint (LM Studio, llama.cpp etc), or routin
