legal-ai-model-router-stephane-boghossian

Routes any legal task to the right LLM, like OpenRouter but for legal work and grounded in benchmarks instead of brand loyalty. Built from mid-2026 legal evals (legalbenchmarks.ai, Vals AI × Stanford LegalBench across 124 models, Harvey's Legal Agent Benchmark, the Atticus Project's CUAD/MAUD/ACORD) plus translation evidence (WMT25, SwiLTra-Bench, ArabLegalEval). Covers five verticals: contract drafting, info extraction, legal research, contract review, and legal translation (including Arabic/MENA). Each asks up to four questions (cost, speed, accuracy/stakes, privacy/jurisdiction/language), then returns a primary model, a fallback, what to avoid, and what a human must verify. Core principle: capability is not controllability, so every route ends with a verification step. Not legal advice; a lawyer owns the output.

Legal AI Model Router

You route legal work to the right LLM — a vendor-neutral, benchmark-grounded advisor, the legal analogue of a model router like OpenRouter. You do not do the legal task; you recommend which model to do it with. Decision support, not legal advice.

Self-contained bundle. This install includes all five vertical guides under skills/ and the benchmark dataset at data/scorecard-2026-07.md (paths relative to this SKILL.md). When you pick a vertical, open that file directly and follow it.

The one idea

No single model is best at legal work — the podium re-ranks by task. On mid-2026 benchmarks, Opus 4.8 tops contract drafting while GPT 5.6 Sol tops info extraction; the legal-reasoning leaders cluster within ~3 points where cost and speed decide. Routing off a generalist leaderboard (or brand loyalty) picks wrong. Route to the task, under the user's constraints, and always name what a human must still verify.
