uncertainty-routing

What problem does it solve?

This Skill dramatically optimizes AI operational costs by intelligently routing tasks. It sends routine tasks to smaller, cheaper models by default and escalates only low-confidence or complex tasks to larger, more expensive models, achieving 10-30x cost reduction while maintaining accuracy.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Confidence-Based Delegation: Automatically estimates the confidence of a small model's response and escalates to a large model only when confidence is low.
• Cost Optimization: Achieves significant cost savings (up to 30x) by minimizing reliance on expensive large models for routine tasks.
• Faster Learning & Throughput: Enables 87% faster learning and a 5x increase in task throughput by leveraging the speed of smaller models.
• Use Case: For a batch of tasks, a simple math problem ("What is 2+2?") is handled by a small, cheap model with high confidence. A complex philosophical question ("Explain quantum entanglement") is automatically escalated to a large, powerful model, ensuring optimal resource allocation and cost efficiency.

Quick Start

Example: Route a task based on confidence

def route_with_uncertainty(task, confidence_threshold=0.7): result, confidence = small_model.execute(task) # Try small model first if confidence >= confidence_threshold: return result # High confidence: use small model result else: result = large_model.execute(task) # Low confidence: escalate to large model return result
