Smart Routing Benefits:
- 70-80% of workload runs for FREE (local CPU)
- No idle GPU costs (serverless = pay only when generating)
- Auto-scaling (queue-based, handles spikes)
- Cost tracking (per job, per user, per day/month)
- Graceful fallback (local → RunPod → error)

🐛 Common Issues & Solutions
1. "AI Orchestrator not available"
# Check if running
ssh netcup "cd /opt/ai-orchestrator && docker-compose ps"
# Restart
ssh netcup "cd /opt/ai-orchestrator && docker-compose restart"
# Check logs
ssh netcup "cd /opt/ai-orchestrator && docker-compose logs -f router"
2. "Image generation fails"
- Check RunPod endpoint configuration
- Verify endpoint returns:
{"output": {"image": "url"}} - Test endpoint directly in RunPod console
3. "Video generation timeout"
- Normal processing time: 30-90 seconds
- Check RunPod GPU availability (cold start can add 30s)
- Verify Wan2.1 endpoint is deployed correctly
4. "High costs"
# Check cost breakdown
curl http://159.195.32.209:3000/api/costs/summary
# Adjust routing to prefer local more
# Edit /opt/ai-orchestrator/services/router/main.py
# Increase queue_depth threshold from 10 to 20+

💡 Pro Tips
- Start small: Deploy text generation first, then images, then video
- Monitor costs daily: Use the cost dashboard to track spending
- Use low priority for batch jobs: Save 100% on images that aren't urgent
- Cache common results: Store and reuse frequent queries
- Set cost alerts: Get email when daily costs exceed threshold
- Test locally first: Use mock API during development
- Review queue depths: Optimize routing thresholds based on your usage
