Researchers have developed a new method for cost-effective reasoning in large language models by implementing a policy-guided stepwise model routing system. This approach formulates the routing of intermediate chain-of-thought states to models of varying sizes as a constrained decision-making problem. By training a small control policy with reinforcement learning and employing threshold calibration, the system optimizes the performance-efficiency tradeoff, outperforming handcrafted strategies and matching methods that train larger reward models.
