Dynamic model routing will follow the path blazed by software-defined wide-area networks

Dynamic model routing — intelligently directing requests across multiple AI models based on cost, latency, and capability — is moving from niche optimization to mainstream infrastructure. Stripe's acquisition validates the category and signals that enterprises will soon expect this routing logic as table stakes, much like SD-WAN did for networking.
