## Definition

**Model routing** — as discussed in GitHub COO Kyle Daigle's Microsoft Build interview — is a mechanism in GitHub's agent-era playbook for deciding which AI model handles a given task, connected to **developer choice** as an anchor of GitHub's strategy [^ceaed73e-0e35-5361-bb27-73f0595b541c@72].

On this channel, **model routing** appears in *GitHub’s COO Explains Why AI Hasn’t Replaced Developers* — a Microsoft Build interview with GitHub COO **Kyle Daigle**. It is one of the key mechanisms of GitHub's agent-era playbook, alongside the flood of agent-authored pull requests, the shifting business model, and **developer choice** as the anchor of GitHub's strategy [^ceaed73e-0e35-5361-bb27-73f0595b541c@72].
