NVIDIA’s agent architecture includes a Router that directs requests to multiple model providers—Anthropic’s Claude, Google’s Gemini, OpenAI, xAI’s Grok—alongside NVIDIA’s open models.
Production systems route requests to specialized models based on task requirements. The router decides: frontier models for complex reasoning, open models for cost-effective tasks.
Enterprise Validation
The enterprise deployments reinforced this pattern:
CodeRabbit: Integrates multiple LLMs with specialized fine-tuning
CrowdStrike: Creates different agent types with different model backends
NetApp: Uses the full Nemotron ecosystem as specialized components
The Router as Value Layer
“One model to rule them all” is dead. The winning architecture is orchestration across many models—and the orchestrator captures the value.
The router becomes the intelligence layer—deciding which model handles which task based on:
Cost optimization
Latency requirements
Capability matching
Context preservation
Strategic Implications
Build the routing logic. Model-agnostic platforms gain strategic advantage over single-model dependencies.
The companies locked into single-model dependencies face vendor lock-in risk without the orchestration benefits.
The Bottom Line
Production systems route to specialized models by task. The winning architecture is orchestration across many models—and the orchestrator captures the value, not any single model provider.
