Kalibr

Adaptive routing for AI agents. Kalibr learns which models work best for your tasks and routes automatically.

Installation

pip install kalibr

Setup

Get your credentials from dashboard.kalibr.systems/settings, then:

export KALIBR_API_KEY=your-api-key
export KALIBR_TENANT_ID=your-tenant-id
export OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-...  # or ANTHROPIC_API_KEY for Claude models

Quick Start

from kalibr import Router

router = Router(
    goal="extract_company",
    paths=["gpt-4o", "claude-sonnet-4-20250514"]
)

response = router.completion(
    messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Extract the company: Hi, I'm Sarah from Stripe."}]
)

router.report(success=True)

Kalibr picks the best model, makes the call, and learns from the outcome.

How It Works

1. You define paths - models (and optionally tools/params) that can handle your task
2. Kalibr picks - uses Thompson Sampling to balance exploration vs exploitation
3. You report outcomes - tell Kalibr if it worked
4. Kalibr learns - routes more traffic to what works

Paths

A path is a model + optional tools + optional params:

# Just models
paths = ["gpt-4o", "claude-sonnet-4-20250514", "gpt-4o-mini"]

# With tools
paths = [
    {"model": "gpt-4o", "tools": ["web_search"]},
    {"model": "claude-sonnet-4-20250514", "tools": ["web_search", "browser"]},
]

# With params
paths = [
    {"model": "gpt-4o", "params": {"temperature": 0.7}},
    {"model": "gpt-4o", "params": {"temperature": 0.2}},
]

Advanced Path Configuration

Routing Between Parameters

Kalibr can route between different parameter configurations of the same model:

from kalibr import Router

router = Router(
    goal="creative_writing",
    paths=[
        {"model": "gpt-4o", "params": {"temperature": 0.3}},
        {"model": "gpt-4o", "params": {"temperature": 0.9}},
        {"model": "claude-sonnet-4-20250514", "params": {"temperature": 0.7}}
    ]
)

response = router.completion(messages=[...])
router.report(success=True)

Each unique (model, params) combination is tracked separately. Kalibr learns which configuration works best for your specific goal.

Routing Between Tools

router = Router(
    goal="research_task",
    paths=[
        {"model": "gpt-4o", "tools": ["web_search"]},
        {"model": "gpt-4o", "tools": ["code_interpreter"]},
        {"model": "claude-sonnet-4-20250514"}
    ]
)

When to Use get_policy() Instead of Router

For most use cases, use Router. It handles provider dispatching and response conversion automatically.

Use get_policy() for advanced scenarios:

• Integrating with frameworks like LangChain that wrap LLM calls
• Custom retry logic or provider-specific features
• Building tools that need fine-grained control

from kalibr import get_policy, report_outcome

policy = get_policy(goal="summarize")
model = policy["recommended_model"]

# You call the provider yourself
if model.startswith("gpt"):
    client = OpenAI()
    response = client.chat.completions.create(model=model, messages=[...])

report_outcome(trace_id=trace_id, goal="summarize", success=True)

Outcome Reporting

Automatic (with success_when)

router = Router(
    goal="summarize",
    paths=["gpt-4o", "claude-sonnet-4-20250514"],
    success_when=lambda output: len(output) > 100
)

response = router.completion(messages=[...])
# Outcome reported automatically based on success_when

Manual

router = Router(goal="book_meeting", paths=["gpt-4o", "claude-sonnet-4-20250514"])
response = router.completion(messages=[...])

meeting_created = check_calendar_api()
router.report(success=meeting_created)

LangChain Integration

pip install kalibr[langchain]

from kalibr import Router

router = Router(goal="summarize", paths=["gpt-4o", "claude-sonnet-4-20250514"])
llm = router.as_langchain()

chain = prompt | llm | parser

Auto-Instrumentation

Kalibr auto-instruments OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google SDKs on import:

import kalibr  # Must be first import
from openai import OpenAI

client = OpenAI()
response = client.chat.completions.create(model="gpt-4o", messages=[...])
# Traced automatically

Disable with KALIBR_AUTO_INSTRUMENT=false.

Low-Level API

For advanced use cases, you can use the intelligence API directly:

from kalibr import register_path, decide, report_outcome

# Register paths
register_path(goal="book_meeting", model_id="gpt-4o")
register_path(goal="book_meeting", model_id="claude-sonnet-4-20250514")

# Get routing decision
decision = decide(goal="book_meeting")
model = decision["model_id"]

# Make your own LLM call, then report
report_outcome(trace_id="...", goal="book_meeting", success=True)

Other Integrations
