“Cursor describes its Router as using an ML classifier to route requests according to task type and complexity.”

“For a real-world example, GitHub describes its Copilot routing system as combining task complexity assessment with real-time model health.”

“VS Code's documentation distinguishes ordinary Auto selection from Copilot Fusion, which can coordinate multiple models for a task.”
