ProgRouter: Online Progress-Guided Orchestration for Multi-Agent LLM Workflows under Quality-Cost Tradeoffs
Multi-agent large language model (LLM) workflows have emerged as a powerful paradigm for solving complex, open-ended tasks through collaborative reasoning among specialized LLM agents, but they incur substantial operating costs due to repeated LLM invocations and long-horizon context accumulation. Existing cascade routing methods make one-shot, query-level decisions and cannot adapt to the dynamic, state-dependent nature of multi-step workflows, in which the right LLM at each step depends on evolving task progress, remaining task difficulty, and cost-efficiency requirements. We present ProgRou
