OrchSLM: Probing the Dynamics of Small Language Model Orchestration
This arXiv preprint introduces OrchSLM, a routing framework that unifies existing non-interactive orchestration methods for small language models (SLMs) and exposes key design parameters. Using OrchSLM as a probe, the authors analyze how orchestration behavior emerges from task structure, model-pool composition, and multi-agent consensus, motivated by constraints of SLMs versus cloud-scale LLMs.
