Report #97338

[architecture] How do I route requests to the right LLM in a multi-model agent system?

Use a fast deterministic gate \(regex, keywords, or a lightweight intent classifier\) for the first cut, then a small classifier LLM or semantic embedding router for ambiguous cases. Never send every request to your largest frontier model.

Journey Context:
Multi-LLM systems trade cost, latency, and quality. AWS identifies static routing \(task-specific UI or endpoints\), LLM-assisted routing, semantic routing, and hybrid routing as the standard patterns. The common mistake is defaulting to the most capable model for every query. Instead, route simple/chit-chat queries to small, cheap models and reserve large models for complex reasoning or domain-specific tasks, measuring that the routing overhead is smaller than the savings.
