It estimates which questions need expensive retrieval and which the model already knows, then escalates selectively (arXiv). Most RAG pipelines run full retrieval on every query, which is exactly the kind of unbounded cost that's killing budgets. A lightweight router in front is one of the highest-ROI changes you can make.
