arXiv:2608. 14641v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Agentic systems increasingly delegate model selection to a router, yet open-source routers are usually evaluated with different tasks, candidate pools, and execution protocols, limiting direct comparison.

arXiv:2607. 11399v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large language model agents are increasingly executed not by a single model call, but by an execution harness that manages observation, context, control, action, state, and verification.

arXiv:2608. 00107v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Agentic systems must repeatedly decide whether to answer directly, decompose a task, invoke a tool, execute code, delegate to a specialist, verify an intermediate result, or recover from failure.

UniACE is a unified framework that standardizes the evaluation of large language model (LLM) agents by representing each benchmark as an instruction–tool–environment triplet and running models through a shared, task‑agnostic harness in isolated runtimes. It preserves native success criteria, offers an offline mode for dynamic‑resource tasks, and standardizes efficiency metrics, execution records, and failure attribution. Applying UniACE to 7 benchmarks across 24 domains and 15 models revealed significant score shifts, ranking reversals, and sensitivity to evidence representation, highlighting the impact of evaluation configuration on reported agent performance.

The paper demonstrates that in open‑weight LLM inference markets, selecting a model is insufficient; clients must also choose a provider, as the same model can differ markedly in quality, latency, availability, and price across providers. The authors propose a market‑aware routing approach, including a measured‑map policy and an online router called FACET, which certifies provider feasibility for each task and safely falls back to a reliable anchor. Experiments show that this strategy yields cost savings while maintaining quality and avoiding degraded endpoints.
