Abstract

Large language models (LLMs) differ in capabilities and costs, motivating routing methods that adaptively choose a model for each query. These methods rely on performance prediction: given a query, estimate whether a model will answer it correctly. Most routing methods train separate predictors of candidate models' performance to guide model selection. Our work shows that performance prediction only beats a simple baseline when the candidate model is suboptimal on the task or the performance predictor adds significant capacity relative to the candidate model. Specifically, we take a model's se
