Distributing LLM traffic across providers.
What is AI load balancing?
AI load balancing distributes LLM requests across multiple providers or endpoints to improve reliability, reduce latency, and avoid rate limits. This is essential for high-traffic production applications.
Load Balancing Strategies
- Round-robin: Rotate between providers
- Weighted: Prefer faster/cheaper providers
- Least-connections: Route to least busy
- Geographic: Route to nearest region
Multi-Provider Benefits
- No single point of failure
- Aggregate rate limits across providers
- Optimize cost by routing to cheapest available
- A/B test different models in production
