That is interesting, sounds like in practice you only end up routing between 2 models

I'd say that a typical main agent loop has 1-3 models (obviously very situationally dependent), but when you have subagents those can get routed independently since they have a fresh context window, so there are a lot more degrees of freedom there.
Or not routing at all.

In practice you just pick one and stick with it until the API stops or you hit performance issues.

The choice on the first turn is super important for this reason! But if a user prompt sends the convo in a very different direction then often it does make sense to reroute at that point.
