Abstract
There is a rapidly growing number of open-source Large Language Models (LLMs) and benchmark datasets to compare them. While some models dominate these benchmarks, no single model typically achieves the best accuracy in all tasks and use cases. With a new dataset, it can be difficult to determine which LLM is best suited to the task. In this work we will address the challenges associated with selecting the best LLM model out of a collection for a new task. To do so, benchmark datasets are repurposed to learn a “router” model for this LLM selection, such that the “router” model will solve a collection of binary classification tasks. This work will demonstrate the utility and limitations of learning model routers from various benchmark datasets, where performance is improved upon using any single model for all tasks.
