New Brick router optimizes LLM use for cost and quality

Researchers have developed a new routing system called Brick, designed to optimize the use of different language models based on query difficulty and cost. Brick scores models on six capability dimensions and estimates query difficulty to dispatch requests efficiently. This approach aims to reduce cloud bills by intelligently selecting the most appropriate model, offering a trade-off between quality and cost. In benchmarks, Brick achieved higher accuracy than single models and existing routers, while significantly cutting costs and reducing latency. AI
