Unhardcoded drops open-source model router
GenLayer has launched Unhardcoded, an open-source policy-based model routing layer that replaces hardcoded model strings with dynamic evaluation rules. Running on developers' own API keys, it allows teams to compose complex LLM workflows, manage automatic fallbacks, and audit decision traces.
Unhardcoded targets the fragile practice of hardcoding model names like 'gpt-4o' directly into application code, providing a much-needed abstraction layer for production LLM deployments. By putting policy decisions outside application logic, it makes AI apps model-agnostic and far easier to maintain as frontier models update.
- –Decouples application logic from specific LLM providers, allowing seamless upgrades and cost optimizations without redeploying code.
- –Open-source approach using developers' own API keys avoids vendor lock-in and middleman markups.
- –Supports fallback chains and capability-based routing, such as routing only to vision or JSON-compatible models.
- –Produces deterministic, replayable decision traces that simplify debugging and auditing of model selection logic.
