Can routing queries to task-matched structures improve RAG reasoning?

Does matching retrieval structure type to task demands—tables for analysis, graphs for inference, algorithms for planning—improve reasoning accuracy over uniform chunk retrieval? This explores whether cognitive fit principles from human learning transfer to AI systems.

Can routers select the right model before generation happens?

Explores whether LLMs can be matched to queries by estimating difficulty upfront, before any generation begins. This matters because routing could cut costs significantly while preserving response quality.

What decisions must multi-agent routing systems optimize simultaneously?

Standard LLM routing only picks which model to use. But multi-agent systems involve four interdependent choices: topology, agent count, role assignment, and per-agent model selection. Does optimizing all four together actually improve performance?

Can routing beat building one better model?

Does directing queries to specialized models via semantic clustering outperform investing in a single frontier model? This challenges whether model improvement or model selection drives performance gains.
