The paper introduces ONLINE LLM PICKER, a framework for active model selection of large language models in streaming settings. It selects the most informative prompts for annotation within a limited budget, enabling the identification of the best or near‑best model among many candidates. Experiments on 10 datasets and over 130 language models show up to 71.67% savings in annotation cost and a reduction in regret by up to 2.51× when using the chosen model for sequential generation.

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.

The paper introduces Poodle, a prototype for just‑in‑time model replacement (JITR) that automatically swaps a large language model with a cheaper, task‑specific model when a recurring task is detected. Poodle reduces inference time by up to 7.5× and saves over $2,200 per 1 M requests compared to a flagship hosted LLM, while maintaining competitive accuracy. The authors argue that model search and transfer learning are essential for efficiently identifying and fine‑tuning these custom models.
