Summary
A preprint on arXiv describes DolphinRouting, a method for routing requests in large language model serving systems that separate prefill and decode work across different worker pools. The approach decides request paths by learning from end-to-end service-level objective (SLO) feedback under a given prefill/decode resource allocation. According to the snippet, requests are clustered using raw prompt length, cache-adjusted input lengths on both worker pools, and output length. The snippet is truncated, so further specifics such as benchmark results are not available here.

What happened
Prefill-decode (PD) disaggregation isolates the two phases of large language model serving, but request-level path selection must account for prefill work, cache reuse, and decode demand. We present DolphinRouting, which learns this choice from end-to-end SLO feedback under a given P/D resource allocation....
Why it matters
Teams running disaggregated LLM serving may care because routing decisions affect how prefill work, cache reuse and decode demand are balanced across pools. If the approach holds up, operators could use SLO feedback rather than fixed rules to choose request paths. Readers should watch for independent evaluations and whether the results carry over to production workloads.
