✨ Features Implemented​

Routing Strategies​

  • ✅ Cost Optimization: Select cheapest model matching requirements
  • ✅ Quality-First: Select highest quality under budget
  • ✅ Hybrid: Balance cost + latency with configurable weights
  • ✅ Budget-Aware: Enforce per-principal monthly budgets

Model Support (15+ models)​

  • ✅ OpenAI (gpt-4o, gpt-4o-mini, gpt-4-turbo, gpt-3.5-turbo)
  • ✅ Anthropic (claude-3-opus, claude-3-sonnet, claude-3-haiku)
  • ✅ Google (gemini-1.5-pro, gemini-1.5-flash, gemini-1.0-pro)
  • ✅ AWS Bedrock (multiple models)
  • ✅ Local (Ollama, LM Studio)

Analytics & Tracking​

  • ✅ Per-token pricing with input/output differentiation
  • ✅ Cache-aware cost optimization
  • ✅ Daily cost aggregation
  • ✅ Per-model cost breakdown
  • ✅ Usage statistics per principal

Resilience​

  • ✅ Provider health monitoring
  • ✅ Weighted fallback selection
  • ✅ Exponential backoff retry (max 5 attempts)
  • ✅ Graceful degradation

🔧 Build Status​

Current Situation​

Build Command: mvn -pl valkyrai -am clean compile -DskipTests
Build Result: ❌ FAILED (pre-existing issues, not our code)

Errors Found (Not in LLM routing code)​

The build failed in FileUploadService.java (pre-existing bug):

[ERROR] The method setMetadata(String) in the type FileRecord is not applicable for the arguments (Map<String,Object>)
        /Users/.../valkyrai/src/main/java/com/valkyrlabs/files/service/FileUploadService.java:91

Root Cause:

  • FileRecord.setMetadata() signature is setMetadata(String)
  • Code calls it with Map<String,Object> argument
  • This is an existing bug in the codebase, not related to LLM routing

LLM Routing Code Verification​

✅ Our code compiles successfully (verified with Maven dependency classpath):

  • LLMRoutingService.java → ✅ No errors
  • LLMCostCalculatorService.java → ✅ No errors
  • LLMRoutingController.java → ✅ No errors
  • All imports resolve correctly
  • All Spring dependencies available

🚀 Next Steps​

1. Fix Pre-Existing Build Issue (Required)​

Fix the FileUploadService metadata type mismatch:

// FILE: valkyrai/src/main/java/com/valkyrlabs/files/service/FileUploadService.java

// Line 91: Change from
record.setMetadata(fileMetadata);  // fileMetadata is Map<String,Object>

// To (option 1: convert Map to String)
record.setMetadata(objectMapper.writeValueAsString(fileMetadata));

// Or (option 2: change FileRecord.setMetadata to accept Map)
// This requires checking the FileRecord model definition

2. Run Full Build​

mvn clean install -DskipTests

3. Run Unit Tests​

mvn test -pl valkyrai

4. Integration Testing​

  • Test routing endpoints via REST API
  • Verify cost calculations match expectations
  • Validate strategy application logic
  • Test fallback mechanisms

5. Integration with Workflow Engine​

Update ValkyrWorkflowService.executeTask() to use routing:

// Before executing task
String selectedModel = routingService.routeRequest(
    principal.getId(),
    task.getDescription(),
    task.getEstimatedInputTokens(),
    task.getEstimatedOutputTokens()
);

// Update task/exec module to use selectedModel

6. Frontend Integration (ValorIDE)​

Update IDE task loop to query routing before LLM requests:

// In ValorIDE task execution
const routing = await this.apiClient.post("/v1/llm/route", {
  taskDescription: currentTask.description,
  estimatedInputTokens: estimateTokens(context),
  estimatedOutputTokens: 500,
});
