Frequently asked questions about API Made
Will this modify my existing ChatGPT installation?
No, it builds a separate, disposable copy and leaves your installed app untouched.
How does the router decide which model to use?
It uses a classifier to identify query complexity plus word-based rules—certain keywords like 'design' or 'architecture' bump requests to larger models.
How do I set this up?
Paste the full 566-line prompt into a fresh Codex task using Sol at xhigh or Ultra settings.
