Merged summary

TL;DR - SCOPE-Router selects VLMs for execution-oriented queries while balancing quality and cost, including when unseen models or tasks appear. It outperforms competing routers in open-set and out-of-distribution evaluations.

  • VLM-ExecRouterBench covers Code, Agentic, and Search tasks across 11 models with widely varying prices.
  • The dual-tower router matches queries against calibrated model behavior profiles, allowing new models without retraining.
  • Its CRM+RCCR objective preserves multiple suitable-model signals while incorporating cost preferences.
  • SCOPE-Router leads all three benchmarks; CRM+RCCR also improves four other router architectures by 1.25–6.21 Rank Score points.
