UnverifiedSmart model routing refers to using one model for planning, handing the plan off to a cheaper model for execution, and calling the large model again when a final review or audit is needed.74% similarUnverifiedIn an agent, the large model is responsible for reasoning and planning decisions, while tools are responsible for executing tasks, with tool invocation uniformly controlled and decided by the large model.73% similarUnverifiedAn agent is essentially a loop in code around a model: construct a prompt, hand it to the model for a decision, have code execute the tools and put the results back into the prompt, and repeat until the model produces a final answer72% similarVerifiedKnowledge distillation technology enables small models to extract a considerable proportion of capability from large models, undermining the validity of fixed compute thresholds as a proxy metric for capability.72% similarUnverifiedSmart routing is not mutually exclusive with techniques such as inference acceleration, model quantization, and prompt engineering, and can be combined with them to form a systematic cost optimization solution.72% similar
