alt Hacker NewsHey, I'm on the team at LiteLLM that's building the auto-router and our goal right now is to abstract that decision making away from the end user. The biggest thing we're trying to figure out right now is how do we do that without frustrating the end user - as a developer myself I would hate for my agent to be dumbed down below the threshold needed to complete a task.
In theory though, there is a minimum viable model for any given task, and we think that is a problem that the big labs will avoid because they profit from charging more per task. We're trying heuristic and LLM-based approaches but it's still a work in progress, so if this is something you'd be interested in trying would highly recommend trying ours out -- any and all feedback at this point is extremely valuable to us.
