AI and Ollama Local Model Routing for Mixed Workloads
AI helps Ollama users route tasks to the right local model instead of running everything against one default.
Creators · Tools Literacy · ~5 min read
The premise
One default Ollama model handles every task badly; AI proposes a routing layer that picks per task.
What AI does well here
- Draft routing rules per task type
- Suggest a fallback chain for failures
- Format a benchmark plan per route
What AI cannot do
- Run models bigger than your VRAM allows
- Predict latency on cold starts
