Its results are company-reported and based on simulated workloads, so the commercial test is whether those gains hold on customers' real query mixes.\n\n[Poetiq](https://poetiq.ai/) says its Metasystem optimized a custom large language model router in 12 hours, producing a series of configurations that it says beat OpenRouter's [Auto Router](https://runtimewire.com/models/openrouter/auto) and TypeSafe's JEV on its own tests.
