Smarter routing with use-case complexity classifiers

Improved

Intelligent Model Routing used to score every request against one general complexity signal, so a coding task and a creative-writing task could land on the same routing decision even though they need different things from a model. Routing now uses separate complexity classifiers for coding, creativity, reasoning, and knowledge tasks, so the routing decision accounts for what kind of task the request actually is.

Pi.dev and Factory Droid support

New

Coding agents built on Pi.dev or Factory's Droid couldn't route through Merge Gateway without custom setup. Both are now supported out of the box, so you can point either one at Gateway the same way you would any supported IDE integration.

Better provider cache control

Improved

Prompt caching only pays off if requests actually hit the cache, and that depends on how well Gateway forwards a provider's own caching parameters. Provider caching now has better cache control support for providers like Anthropic, so requests that rely on prompt caching are more likely to hit it instead of reprocessing the full prompt each time.
