Multi-LLM routing strategies for generative AI applications on AWS

Flipboard

Organizations are increasingly using multiple large language models (LLMs) when building generative AI applications. Although an individual LLM can be highly capable, it might not optimally address a wide range of use cases or meet diverse performance requirements. The multi-LLM approach enables organizations to effectively choose the right model for each task, adapt to different domains, and optimize for specific cost, latency, or quality needs.
