The most cited first (OpenAlex and our library).

1. **[RouteLLM: Learning to Route LLMs with Preference Data](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/ong-2024-routellm-learning-route-llms-preference/)** *(2024 · 109 citations)* Deploying LLMs forces a trade-off: frontier models such as GPT-4 give the best answers but are costly, while cheaper models like Mixtral-8x7B struggle with harder requests.
2. **[Reka Core, Flash, and Edge: A Series of Powerful Multimodal Language Models](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/ormazabal-2024-reka-core-flash-edge-series/)** *(2024 · 42 citations)* The Reka Team presents three multimodal language models trained from scratch: Edge (7B, dense), Flash (21B, dense) and Core, the largest, whose training was still ongoing when the report was written.
