Enterprise AI costs are climbing, and a bigger token bill does not mean more work is getting done. To avoid losing on performance, engineers usually default to the most performant model for all tasks. Simple questions, mechanical refactors, documentation updates, small bug fixes, and search-heavy investigations end up on the same premium path as work that truly needs frontier performance. Budgets get exhausted without a clear increase in organization-level output.
Today you pick a model per task and lean on the most expensive one to be safe. With Factory Router you choose once and it picks the best model for each session.
Compared with Claude Opus 4.7, Factory Router maintains frontier performance at lower cost per session. At enterprise scale, those savings apply across every Droid session, with spend tied to the work being done rather than a blanket default to the most expensive model.
When a provider degrades, rate limits hit, or capacity gets constrained, your sessions keep going. Factory Router routes across models, providers, and capacity to deliver 99.9%+ request reliability.
If a provider path degrades, Factory Router keeps the session running on the same model through a healthy provider. Enterprise customers get reserved throughput for critical work instead of relying only on shared public capacity.
Factory Router keeps frontier models available as they come online, so high-complexity work gets the strongest model class.
Route eligible work to US-hosted open-source models when you need cost-efficient or controlled options.
Routing guidance brings your team's context into Factory Router, so automatic model selection reflects how work actually happens inside your organization. The same policy surfaces that govern other Factory models apply here, so admins manage access, compliance, and eligibility without a separate control plane.
Factory Router is in private research preview in the Factory CLI and Desktop App. Once enabled for your org, it appears in the model picker for every user with no setup required. Mission workers can use it too, so long-running autonomous work gets the same automatic model selection and savings as interactive and headless sessions.
