Ever wonder what happens when the AI model your favorite app relies on suddenly vanishes or goes offline? In this episode of Utilizing AI, host Stephen Foskett sits down with tech experts Jay Cuthrell and Dave Graham to discuss the rising importance of AI model routers. Building artificial intelligence applications is tough because new models are released constantly, and older ones can disappear without warning. Model routers solve this by acting like smart traffic controllers, automatically sending your app's requests to the best, fastest, or cheapest AI available. The panel dives into how platforms like OpenRouter and DigitalOcean help developers control costs, avoid application crashes, and seamlessly switch between different AI providers without changing their code. This and more on Utilizing AI, part of the Futurum Group Podcast Network.
