FlexRouter is a routing framework for large language models that explicitly models model complementarity to maximize answer coverage. It formulates routing as a coverage-oriented subset selection problem and uses Determinantal Point Processes to capture both competence and redundancy. During inference, a greedy strategy based on marginal log-determinant gains allows the router to adaptively determine subset sizes without a fixed budget, achieving higher coverage with lower redundancy on the RouterEval benchmark.

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.
