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. We present a common measurement protocol and hybrid evaluation of four router implementations across RouterBench, BFCL v4, tau2-bench, and WebArena. We evaluate 290 frozen tasks against a locked matrix of 2,610 candidate outcomes. Three routers emit constant or near-constant tier assignments; only vLLM Semantic Router varies materially with prompt content, and it has the highest observed success rate on none of the four benchmarks. Always-Mid matches Aurelio exactly on three benchmarks and within 0.003 on the fourth. For vLLM, task-level superiority tests detect no task-specific advantage over a share-matched content-blind allocation; equivalence is established only on WebArena at the protocol-declared five-percentage-point margin. The results show that, under these configurations and controls, observed gains track selected-tier composition more closely than demonstrated task-specific targeting. Fixed-tier baselines and selected-tier distributions are therefore necessary controls in router evaluation; the findings are scoped to these configurations, candidate pool, and frozen benchmark samples, not to routing paradigms in general.
