"# Semantic Routing \u2014 runnable example\n",
"\n",
"Ported from the intent router in Aiko-chan (cognition/reason.py + cognition/think.py::_route_intent).\n",
"The embedding backend there is a 270M harrier model over HTTP; here we use sentence-transformers\n",
"so it runs anywhere. The method is model-agnostic \u2014 swap any embedder in.\n",
"\n",
"**The method:**\n",
"1. Embed a small set of example phrases per label, once, into one row-normalized matrix.\n",
"2. For a query, cosine-similarity against all examples in one vectorized matmul.\n",
"3. Score each label as the mean of its top-k example scores (not the single max, not a centroid).\n",
" One lucky/unlucky example can't decide the label; a tight cluster of good matches outvotes a diffuse one.\n",
"4. Routing policy: per-label thresholds + a margin (gap) \u2014 the winner must beat the runner-up by min_gap,\n",
" otherwise the call is "ambiguous" (fall back to a default, never a coin flip).\n",
"\n",
"Run top to bottom. Each demo prints accuracy + ms/query."
