Key points

  • It proposes a unified framework that decomposes routers into five components, allowing more than 16 heterogeneous routers to be compared in the same language.
  • It automatically runs 18 models across a range of benchmark tasks to build routing evaluation data, xRouteBench, covering general NLP, vision, time series, and personalization.
  • The learned router improves by 14.6% relative to fixed model selection. However, when the cost constraint gets tight, the lighter router wins.
  • User-specific routing consistently produces personalization gains, but only when the user context is modeled well.
  • It releases the open-source LLMRouter library so that new routers can be added in a few lines.
