SCX Router: Streaming Zero-Shot Model Selection with a Decoder-KV Classifier and a Real-World Task Ontology

The paper introduces SCX Router, a lightweight GLiClass-based model selector that assigns suitability scores to inference-time language models without autoregressive generation. It uses a 0.6B-parameter Qwen3 decoder with a shallow bidirectional scorer, preserving a text-only key–value cache across sessions and predicting task attributes such as type, difficulty, and expected output length. The authors build a comprehensive task ontology with 23 families, 115 types, and 1,173 synthetic examples, generating 150,000 verifier-scored tasks to train the router, which outperforms baseline models on LiveBench subsets with a top‑1 score of 0.707 versus 0.696 for the strongest fixed model.

DyCon: Dynamic Reasoning Control via Evolving Difficulty Modeling

arXiv:2606. 07108v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Recent advances in Large Reasoning Models (LRMs) demonstrate remarkable performance improvements by iteratively reflecting, exploring, and executing complex tasks, yet suffer from inefficiencies due to redundant reasoning, known as "overthinking".

A Modular Multitask Reasoning Framework Integrating Spatio-temporal Models and LLMs

The paper introduces STReason, a modular multitask reasoning framework that combines large language models with spatio‑temporal models to handle complex natural language queries without task‑specific fine‑tuning. STReason decomposes queries into interpretable programs, executes them to produce numerical results and detailed, computation‑grounded explanations, thereby reducing hallucinations. The authors evaluate the system on a new benchmark and show it outperforms advanced LLM baselines, with human studies confirming its credibility and practical utility.

KairosAgent: Agentic Time Series Forecasting with Fused Semantic Reasoning

KairosAgent is an agentic framework that combines a large language model (LLM) reasoner with a time series foundation model (TSFM) forecaster to tackle cross‑domain multimodal time series forecasting. It dynamically invokes analytical tools to improve the LLM’s numerical comprehension and semantic reasoning, then fuses the reasoning outcomes into the TSFM pipeline for more accurate predictions. The approach is further enhanced by a curated large‑scale trajectory corpus and a reinforcement learning paradigm with multi‑turn refinement and turn‑level credit assignment, achieving superior zero‑shot forecasting performance.
