Error-Aware Reverse Auction Mechanism for Large Language Model Routing
Quick summary
arXiv:2608.12719v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Routing each query to a cost-effective large language model (LLM) is critical for balancing quality and cost, yet most routers rely on a centralized task center to predict model performance, creating an information-risk mismatch and a scalability bottleneck as the model pool grows. We propose a market-based routing paradigm that shifts ex-ante prediction to LLM providers via a reverse auction, where providers bid with self-predicted success probabilities and execution costs. To account for inherently noisy provider predictions and center evalua
