OrchSLM: Probing the Dynamics of Small Language Model Orchestration

תקציר מקורי באנגליתarXiv:2609.13470v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Although large language models (LLMs) have demonstrated remarkable capabilities, their reliance on cloud-scale infrastructure poses fundamental challenges for deployment in agentic pipelines, including latency, privacy, connectivity, and substantial computational cost. Small language models (SLMs) offer a compelling alternative: recent studies suggest that many repetitive and narrowly scoped subtasks in agentic workloads may be better served by specialized SLMs than by monolithic LLMs. However, the limited capacity and context windows of SLMs can constrain long-horizon reasoning and interaction-heavy orchestration strategies such as iterative verification and debate. This motivates a complementary, non-interactive paradigm in which heterogene
