This is a follow-up to SynaptoRoute: A Study in Local Semantic Routing. If you haven't read it, the short version is: SynaptoRoute is a zero-token semantic routing engine that classifies user queries into intents using local embeddings instead of LLM API calls.

SynaptoRoute v0.3.0: Matching Semantic Router While Scaling to 50,000 Routes

What Changed Since v0.2.0

When I published the first post, SynaptoRoute had just shipped dynamic batching and O(1) hot-reload. The throughput numbers were promising, but the accuracy story was incomplete. I had internal benchmarks but no comparison against a widely adopted baseline under identical, reproducible conditions.

That gap is now closed.
