Intelligent Routing
An AI system scheduling strategy that automatically assigns tasks to the most suitable and cost-effective model by analyzing the semantic properties of each task, such as difficulty, type, and context requirements. The approach aims to simultaneously optimize solution quality and inference cost across a pool of available models.
Timeline (last 90 days)
A typical tiered deployment approach uses small open-source models to handle more than 90% of routine tasks, routing only complex multi-step reasoning tasks to frontier models, which can reduce overall AI operating costs by several times.
Databricks' Smart Routing assigns simple tasks to economy models and complex tasks to high-end models based on factors such as task complexity, context length, and historical success rates.
Smart Routing reduced costs while maintaining an overall quality level comparable to the most expensive models.
The conventional practice of uniformly using the most powerful model to ensure quality results in significant resource waste.
Common strategies for intelligent routing include rule-based static routing, machine learning-based dynamic routing, and cascade routing combined with confidence evaluation.
The team optimized response latency to within approximately 1 second through two means: intelligent routing (distributing requests to the most suitable model based on request type) and caching of common queries.
智能路由的核心技术挑战在于任务复杂度分类的准确性和延迟控制，若分类器本身需调用大模型会陷入为省钱而花钱的悖论
将任务复杂度与模型能力匹配的智能路由，若60%任务可由小模型完成而不损失质量，理论成本节约空间可达40%-50%
