Route Simple Work Fast. Give Complex Work The Intelligence It Needs.

Finch Light · fast · agile

High-frequency, low-complexity inference paths that finish under tight latency budgets.

path=finch_fast · tier≤standard · gate=spot
Otter Flexible · multi-step · reliable

Reasoning, tool use, long context, and high-reliability deep paths when failure cost is real.

How Much Intelligence Does This Request Need?

Before a provider call, FinchOtter evaluates the request — then chooses Fast, Deep, Tool Agent, or a multi-stage cascade.

  1. 01 · Score Task fingerprint

    Complexity · failure cost · tool need · context size · latency budget

  2. 02 · Decide Router gate

    Policy stack picks Finch Fast, Otter Deep, or Cascade — not a fixed model ID.

  3. 03 · Verify Quality gate

    Unreliable outputs escalate automatically to a stronger inference path.

Request Anatomy Signals that raise or lower depth
  • Context length ↑ · cross-document comparison
  • Tool need ↓ · extraction only, no writes
  • Failure cost ↑ · customer-facing finance
