arXiv:2606. 19079v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The increasing deployment of parameter-efficient fine-tuning (PEFT) has led to model ecosystems in which a single backbone is paired with many task-specialized adapters.

arXiv:2603. 20895v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Existing routers rely on semantic query features or handcrafted features, which often fail to capture model-specific failures or intrinsic task difficulty.

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.

arXiv:2606. 02581v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) faces a fundamental three-way tension: deeper retrieval improves factual grounding but inflates token costs and end-to-end latency.
