Model-agnostic by design: choosing the right brain

No single model is best at everything. Ignivo routes each task to the model that handles it best — and keeps you free to switch when something better ships.
Different jobs, different brains
Long-context research favours one model, fast classification another, careful code a third. Treating models as interchangeable parts lets each step use the right one without rewriting the workflow.
How routing works
Each step declares what it needs: speed, reasoning depth or context length
The router picks a model that fits, with cost as a tie-breaker
Results are scored, so poor matches are caught and rerouted
You can pin a model for any step when consistency matters most
“Lock-in is a tax you pay every time the market moves.”
— Lucas Berg, Head of Design at Ignivo
Bring your own model
Enterprise teams can plug in their own hosted models next to the ones we provide. The workflow does not change — only the brain behind a step does.
Key takeaways
Match each task to the model that suits it.
Score results so routing improves over time.
Stay free to switch models without rebuilding.
