The concept of routing in large language models involves classifying an input and directing it to a specialized agent or model best suited for the task. Anthropic refers to this as routing, while Google uses terms like coordinator or dispatcher pattern. This approach allows for more focused prompts and can lead to cost savings by directing simpler queries to smaller, less expensive models and complex ones to larger, more capable models. However, routing introduces additional model calls, potentially increasing costs and latency, and carries the risk of misclassification if the classifier is unreliable or descriptions are vague. AI
