Merge Gateway cuts LLM costs 65%
Merge released benchmark data showing intelligent model routing cuts average task costs by 65% ($2.87 vs $8.17) while preserving 99.6% accuracy compared to fixed Opus 4.8. Routing overhead remained minimal with a median latency of 90–650ms per request across 120 trials.
Defaulting to top-tier foundation models for every query is an expensive anti-pattern that intelligent routing gateways can immediately solve.
• Cuts task execution costs by 65% ($2.87 vs $8.17 per task) with negligible accuracy loss (99.6% vs 100%).
• Adds minimal routing overhead (90–650ms median), easily absorbed in typical multi-step LLM task execution times.
• Statistically sound evaluation (p < 0.001 across 120 trials) proves enterprise readiness for dynamic model selection.
