DreamForge Dashboard

What is the Switchboard?

The AI Switchboard controls which AI providers handle each type of generation in DreamForge. Each category (images, meshes, video, music, SFX, LLMs) has a priority-ordered list of providers. The 1 provider is the primary — it handles all requests first. If it fails, the system automatically falls back to 2, then 3, and so on down the chain.

Managing Providers

• Reorder: Drag and drop tiles to change priority. The leftmost provider (1) is always tried first.
• Add: Click the + button at the end of a row to add an available provider as a new fallback.
• Remove: Click the × on a tile to remove it from that category.
• Save: Changes are local until you press Save. All running game clients will pick up the new config on their next switchboard refresh.

Fallback & Circuit Breaker

When a provider fails, the switchboard retries once, then moves to the next fallback. After 3 consecutive failures, a provider enters a 5-minute cooldown and is automatically skipped. If all providers are in cooldown, the least-recently-failed one is tried as an emergency fallback. Providers recover automatically once they succeed again.

Active Queries

Each tile shows how many calls to that provider are currently in flight. Category headers show the sum across their providers. The “Current Generations” panel above the grid lists each user who has calls in flight and what they’re running.

Costs

Each tile shows an estimated cost label. For media generation it’s per generation. For TTS it’s per 1k characters. For LLMs it’s the input token rate per 1M tokens.
