Multi-LLM routing systems, while promising cost savings and quality improvements, present significant failure modes in production. A key issue is the hidden cost of re-routing requests to more expensive models when cheaper ones fail, leading to higher overall expenses and latency than initially projected. Additionally, relying on static latency figures for routing is problematic, as provider performance fluctuates, necessitating continuous monitoring and dynamic adjustments to avoid user-facing delays. The article suggests measuring cost per successful task and implementing dynamic latency budgets to mitigate these production pitfalls. AI
