Model Routing Strategies: Intelligent Request Distribution Across LLMs

Introduction: Not every request needs GPT-4. Simple questions can be handled by smaller, faster, cheaper models, while complex reasoning tasks benefit from more capable ones. Model routing intelligently directs requests to the most appropriate model based on task complexity, cost constraints, latency requirements, and quality needs. This approach can reduce costs by 50-80% while maintaining […]
