Model routing cuts LLM errors 46% at same cost, Martian study finds
SucceededMind · x · 2026-09-04
Martian's "AI Frontier" study: routing across models yields 46% fewer errors than the single best LLM across 16 widely-used benchmarks (TerminalBench, LiveCodeBench, etc), at the same cost. Interactive site and academic paper released.
Key findings:
- Quoted API pricing is mostly fiction: on real workloads Kimi costs more than advertised, GPT-5.4 runs cheaper
- Hidden variance is the silent killer: running identical prompts 10 times shows Qwen3.7 Max 96.1% reliable, Claude Opus 4.6 94.4%, GPT-5.5 93.5%
- In agent workflows one random failure breaks the whole chain — don't bet on a single API
