What Gate Taught Me About Routing

A glowing slab labeled Smart routing, with dotted lines out to four slabs: Fast, Cheap, Huge context and Reasons harder. Headline: Every model has a lane.

TLDR

June 2026 I started leading AI at Gate. Gate Router's smart routing picks the right model per task and typically cuts token costs 20 to 30%. More tokens doesn't mean more work done.

AI and Web3, front and center, same room.

Smart Routing

One thing we shipped: smart routing by Gate Router.

It picks the right model for each task on its own.

Typical savings: 20 to 30% on token costs.

Lighting Cash on Fire

Most companies still send their easiest tasks to their most expensive model.

Your CFO and your CTO both see the same thing.

Cash on fire.

Every Model Has a Lane

Some are fast. Some are cheap.

Some hold a huge context. Some reason harder.

Routing means you stop picking by hand.

In Closing (for now)

Paying more for tokens doesn't get more work done.

Route it. 🔥🤖
