    • Hey swyk! I have a similar perspective when it comes to model routing and even LLM frameworks that centralize the schema when almost every provider already supports OpenAI's…

Objections

  • Model routing is unnecessary because people tune prompts to specific models

    From 1 comment
    • congrats yoeven! i have been a skeptic of model routing like Martian, because while it sounds good in theory, 1) in practice, people tune prompts/behavior/output to models and…

Requests

  • Explain how the training dataset was annotated

    From 1 comment
    • The small model you trained, how did you annotate the dataset? Because most of the times output from big models will be subjective, and with not a drastic difference in quality.…

  • Publish the list of models used for training

    From 1 comment
    • I can't find that list of hundreds of models to save my life... is it there some place?

Questions

  • How are prompt differences across model families handled

    From 1 comment
    • I'd also ask how you're dealing with the idiosyncrasies across model families (its very different to prompt gemini vs claude vs gpt4o) when you are routing these lm inputs
