Prompt routing enhances LLM efficiency by using specialized models

A new prompt routing technique involves first classifying a user's message to determine its intent, then dispatching it to a specialized, smaller language model designed for that specific task. This approach contrasts with a single, large model handling all queries, which can be inefficient and prone to errors. By using dedicated specialists for tasks like billing or code debugging, the system becomes more reliable, cost-effective, and capable of identifying ambiguous requests, thereby improving overall performance and safety.

    Prompt routing: classify the message first, then dispatch it to a specialist that actually fits

    <p>A single do-everything prompt that must answer billing questions, debug code, <em>and</em> make small talk is carrying every instruction and every tool at once — so it is bloated, pricey, and only mediocre at each job. Worse, it can never tell you a message is ambiguous: it ju…
