  "summary": "Cloudflare has released Auto Router in public beta through AI Gateway, which rates each request for stakes from the most recent turns. The system consists of two stages: first, AI Gateway builds a candidate pool by filtering models based on the request format, credentials, billing configuration, access control, and spend limits. Then, a multi-head classification model runs on Cloudflare's edge GPUs, assigning probabilities across 14 task categories and rating the request on four dimensions: complexity, ambiguity, stakes, and dependence on earlier context. The scoring matrix combines these factors with benchmark results, using the formula utility = expected quality - adaptive cost penalty. The Auto Router classifies each request from the newest turns only, with a cap of 8 KiB of text, and scores candidate models on strength by task and expected gain on harder work, with price weighted less as difficulty rises.",
