Create A Router - Dari

Create a router from a local YAML manifest with the Dari CLI. This is the easiest way to keep a router configuration in source control.

YAML

Create router.yml:

name: Production Router
enabled_models:
  - openai/gpt-5.6-sol
  - anthropic/claude-sonnet-4-6
provider_key_sources:
  openai: managed
  anthropic: managed
routing_strategy: slm

Sign in and create the router:

dari auth login
dari router create ./router.yml

slm enables automatic routing. Use provider_key_envs for BYOK values from environment variables instead of storing secrets in YAML. The CLI uses the platform default and enables speculative routing. The command returns a router ID. Use it to retrieve the endpoint:

dari router get <router_id>

Dashboard

For a quick setup, open Routers in the Dari Dashboard, select Create Router, choose your models and provider keys, and copy the endpoint from the router detail page. The dashboard is also where you can disable speculative routing. A router endpoint looks like this:
