LLM routing: match tasks to models
Routing is matching a task to a catalog row. Ashna-X1 is the default. Pin GPT, Claude, or Gemini when you need that row’s context, reasoning, or file flags. Brand preference is not routing.

Write the constraint first
If the constraint is “any good answer,” stay on X1. If it is “400k context” or “thinking must stay on,” open the catalog.
Do not route PDFs to X1
Use chat-with-file. That is a pipeline choice, not a model-brand choice.

- When you need that provider’s reasoning or a customer requires Anthropic.
