Wayfinder Router: deterministic routing of queries between local and hosted LLM

A new open-source project called Wayfinder Router has appeared on GitHub, offering deterministic routing for language model queries. According to the project, it intelligently directs prompts either to local LLMs running on your machine or to hosted cloud services, letting developers optimize for cost, latency, and privacy without rewriting application logic. The router uses rules-based routing — you define when to use which model based on query complexity, inference speed requirements, or budget constraints. It's early-stage, posted to Hacker News with minimal discussion so far, but it addresses a real pain point for teams running mixed local and cloud LLM infrastructure.
