Router Apiserver API Reference

The router apiserver is the HTTP control and utility surface served on port 8080. It exposes health and readiness endpoints, OpenAI-compatible model listing, model introspection, direct classification utilities, and router config management APIs. Use this surface for operational checks, debugging, calibration loops, and config lifecycle actions outside the Envoy data path.

API Endpoints​

Base URL​

http://localhost:8080

Server Status​

The router apiserver runs alongside the main Semantic Router ExtProc server:

  • Router Apiserver: http://localhost:8080 (HTTP REST API)
  • ExtProc Server: http://localhost:50051 (gRPC for Envoy integration)
  • Metrics Server: http://localhost:9190 (Prometheus metrics)

Endpoint-to-port mapping (quick reference)​

  • Port 8080 (router apiserver)

    • GET /health, GET /ready
    • GET /api/v1, GET /openapi.json, GET /docs
    • GET /v1/models (OpenAI-compatible model list, includes auto)
    • GET /info/models, GET /info/classifier
    • POST /api/v1/classify/intent|pii|security|batch
    • GET|PATCH|PUT /config/router
    • GET /config/router/versions, POST /config/router/rollback
  • Port 8801 (Envoy public entry)

    • Typically proxies POST /v1/chat/completions to upstream LLMs while invoking ExtProc (50051).
    • You can expose GET /v1/models at 8801 by adding an Envoy route that forwards to router:8080.
  • Port 50051 (ExtProc, gRPC)

    • Used by Envoy for external processing of requests; not an HTTP endpoint.
  • Port 9190 (Prometheus)

    • GET /metrics

Start the server with:

make run-router

Configuration​

Supported Model Directory Structures:

High-Confidence LoRA Models (Recommended):

./models/
├── lora_intent_classifier_bert-base-uncased_model/ # BERT Intent
├── lora_intent_classifier_roberta-base_model/ # RoBERTa Intent
├── lora_intent_classifier_modernbert-base_model/ # ModernBERT Intent
├── lora_pii_detector_bert-base-uncased_model/ # BERT PII Detection

├── lora_jailbreak_classifier_roberta-base_model/ # RoBERTa Security Detection
└── lora_jailbreak_classifier_modernbert-base_model/ # ModernBERT Security Detection

Legacy ModernBERT Models (Fallback):

./models/
├── modernbert-base/ # Shared encoder (auto-discovered)
├── category_classifier_modernbert-base_model/ # Intent classification head
├── pii_classifier_modernbert-base_presidio_token_model/ # PII classification head
└── jailbreak_classifier_modernbert-base_model/ # Security classification head

Auto-Discovery: The API automatically detects and prioritizes LoRA models for superior performance. BERT and RoBERTa LoRA models deliver 0.99+ confidence scores, significantly outperforming legacy ModernBERT models.

Model Selection & Performance​

Automatic Model Discovery: The API automatically scans the ./models/ directory and selects the best available models:

  1. Priority Order: LoRA models > Legacy ModernBERT models
  2. Architecture Selection: BERT ≥ RoBERTa > ModernBERT (based on confidence scores)
  3. Task Optimization: Each task uses its specialized model for optimal performance

Performance Characteristics:

  • Latency: ~200-400ms per batch (4 texts)
  • Throughput: Supports concurrent requests
  • Memory: CPU-only inference supported
  • Accuracy: 0.99+ confidence for in-domain texts with LoRA models

Model Loading:

[INFO] Using LoRA models for batch classification, batch size: 4
[INFO] Initializing LoRA models: Intent=models/lora_intent_classifier_bert-base-uncased_model, ...

Generic Categories via MMLU-Pro Mapping​

You can now use free-style, generic category names in your config and map them to the MMLU-Pro categories used by the classifier. The classifier will translate its MMLU predictions into your generic categories for routing and reasoning decisions.

Example configuration:

# config/config.yaml (excerpt)
classifier:
category_model:
model_id: "models/category_classifier_modernbert-base_model"
use_modernbert: true
threshold: 0.6
use_cpu: true
category_mapping_path: "models/category_classifier_modernbert-base_model/category_mapping.json"

categories:
- name: tech
# Map generic "tech" to multiple MMLU-Pro categories
mmlu_categories: ["computer science", "engineering"]
- name: finance
# Map generic "finance" to MMLU economics
mmlu_categories: ["economics"]
- name: politics
# If mmlu_categories is omitted and the name matches an MMLU category,
# the router falls back to identity mapping automatically.

decisions:
- name: tech
description: "Route technical queries"
priority: 10
rules:
operator: "OR"
conditions:
- type: "domain"
name: "tech"
modelRefs:
- model: phi4
use_reasoning: false
- model: mistral-small3.1
use_reasoning: false

- name: finance
description: "Route finance queries"
priority: 10
rules:
operator: "OR"
conditions:
- type: "domain"
name: "finance"
modelRefs:
- model: gemma3:27b
use_reasoning: false

- name: politics
description: "Route politics queries"
priority: 10
rules:
operator: "OR"
conditions:
- type: "domain"
name: "politics"
modelRefs:
- model: gemma3:27b
use_reasoning: false

Notes:

  • If mmlu_categories is provided for a category, all listed MMLU categories will be translated to that generic name.

  • If mmlu_categories is omitted and the generic name exactly matches an MMLU category (case-insensitive), identity mapping is applied.

  • When no mapping is found for a predicted MMLU category, the original MMLU name is used as-is.
