RouterIntelligenceParadox#210a

Choosing which model to send a job to takes at least the intelligence of the job

Mechanism

A router that must decide which model should handle a task has to understand the task first. A weak router misjudges difficulty and misroutes. The sound design lets the strongest model make the routing decision and delegate cheap work downward, instead of putting a cheap classifier in front.

Invariants

  • Routing quality is bounded by the router's understanding of the task
  • Delegation flows from strong to cheap

Failure modes

  • Cheap router sends hard tasks to weak models
  • Router cost approaches the cost of doing the task
