EcoRoute

1. Overview & Value EcoRoute is a production-grade, multi-model hybrid orchestration agent developed for the AMD Hackathon (Track 1). It serves as an automated cost-optimizer layer that sits between users and diverse backends, routing intelligence seamlessly without modifying core prompt intents. By dynamically matching query complexity with the most cost-effective model under strict resource limits, EcoRoute bridges the gap between budget constraints and high-quality outputs. 2. Dual-Track Token Crushing Strategy Built to dominate on token efficiency under strict accuracy gates, EcoRoute employs a custom Dual-Track Adaptive Routing Strategy: Zero-Token Local Track: For structural text processing and low-complexity extraction tasks—specifically Sentiment (Cat 3), Summarisation (Cat 4), and NER (Cat 5)—the container invokes a local, 4-bit quantized Gemma-4-E2B model via llama-cpp-python. Operating purely within the grader's 4GB RAM / 2 vCPU limits, these local completions drain exactly zero Fireworks tokens, securing a massive advantage on the leaderboard. High-Fidelity Remote Track: For computationally demanding reasoning domains—Math (Cat 2), Debugging (Cat 6), Logic Puzzles (Cat 7), and Code Gen (Cat 8)—the agent cleanly dispatches requests to dedicated online experts (such as kimi-k2p7-code or gemma-4-31b-it) to pass strict accuracy thresholds. 3. Industrial-Grade Fault Tolerance Built with an advanced Catch-All Exception Shield, EcoRoute offers unmatched resiliency. If the local Gemma-4-E2B runtime encounters any hardware-level virtualization or instruction set limitations, the exception shield seamlessly hot-swaps the affected tasks to the cheapest available online API node in real-time. This architecture guarantees a successful Exit Code 0 under any extreme edge case, protecting the evaluation pipeline from unexpected failure states.
