ModelPin — Task-aware model routing gateway
Lets AI agents auto-pick the best and cheapest model per task type
- Problem
- Developers juggle GPT, Claude, and local models but must manually choose one per call; wrong picks waste money and slow things down. Pure price comparison isn't enough because task requirements vary wildly.
- Solution
- A single API gateway where developers tag task types (codegen, summarization, translation, reasoning); the gateway routes to the best model based on historical performance and cost, with A/B comparison and fallback. It gradually learns the best model per task from light labeling.
- Users
- Developers building their own AI agents, small AI app teams, indie devs who want quality on a budget
- MVP
- Unified API across multiple model providers; task-tag-based routing rules; logging cost and response quality per call; a simple dashboard for comparison and manual weight tweaks
- Revenue
- Transparent markup or flat subscription on call volume; team tier for advanced routing learning and custom policies
- Why now
- The model supply landscape is extremely fragmented and routing/cost optimization is an ongoing pain; indie developers can start with rule-based routing and layer in light learning, avoiding head-on competition with OpenAI/OpenRouter
