R2-Router: A New Paradigm for LLM Routing with Reasoning

ArXi:2602.02823v2 Announce Type: replace As LLMs proliferate with diverse capabilities and costs, LLM routing has emerged by learning to predict each LLM's quality and cost for a given query, then selecting the one with high quality and low cost. However, existing routers implicitly assume a single fixed quality and cost per LLM for each query, ignoring that the same LLM's quality varies with its output length.
