Drift-Aware LLM Routing with Sparse Contexts and Shared Budgets

arXiv · AI, language, vision and robotics · article · Sep 1, 2026 · UTC

A multi-model language service must route each request while preserving workload-level budgets for compute, latency, memory, or monetary cost. Two features make this problem materially harder than static model selection. Prompt representations are high dimensional, so only a small subset of embedding directions may predict the incremental value of a model, and both the request mix and the model frontier drift after launches, fine-tunes, quantization changes, and system updates. We formulate nonstationary sparse contextual routing with multiple knapsack constraints and an optional shadow-audit
