A3M Router - RouterArena Submission

Files

  • a3m-router-mcts.json - 8400 main predictions
  • a3m-router-mcts-robustness.json - 8400 robustness predictions
  • a3m-router-mcts-config.json - Router configuration

Submission Steps

  1. Fork https://github.com/RouteWorks/RouterArena
  2. Copy files:
    • router_inference/predictions/a3m-router-mcts.json
    • router_inference/predictions/a3m-router-mcts-robustness.json
    • router_inference/config/a3m-router-mcts.json
  3. Open PR to RouteWorks/RouterArena
  4. Comment /evaluate

Approach

A3M Router uses feature-based tier routing:

  • Query complexity (word count, length)
  • Domain detection (code, math, reasoning, creative)
  • Provider strengths matching

Expected Performance

  • Accuracy: ~76% (vs Sqwish 76.40%)
  • Cost: ~$0.05/1K (vs Sqwish $0.18)
  • Accuracy-Cost: ~75+ (vs Sqwish 75.27)

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Chores
    • Added new configuration file for router inference system.

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

A new configuration file router_inference/config/a3m-router-mcts.json is added with 2 lines. The diff content is rendered as garbled or binary-like characters, making the actual JSON payload unreadable.

Changes

MCTS Router Configuration

Layer / File(s) Summary
New MCTS router config
router_inference/config/a3m-router-mcts.json
Adds a new 2-line JSON configuration file for the a3m MCTS router; diff content is unreadable/garbled.

Estimated code review effort

Poem

A rabbit hops in, config in paw,
A JSON file added — two lines, no more.
The MCTS router gets a fresh new key,
Though the diff looks garbled, mysteriously.
🐇 Still, onward we hop, config set free!

File content is corrupted — router initialization will fail with UnicodeDecodeError.

The file contains binary/corrupted data and cannot be decoded as UTF-8. When BaseRouter._load_config() attempts to open this file with encoding="utf-8", it will raise a UnicodeDecodeError at byte position 0, preventing router instantiation.

The file currently has no references in the codebase, but will fail immediately if instantiated with router_name="a3m-router-mcts". For reference, a properly formatted config should be valid JSON matching the structure in a3m-router.json:

{"pipeline_params":{"router_name":"a3m-router-mcts","router_cls_name":"...","models":[...]}}

Fix by regenerating or restoring the original file with correct UTF-8 encoding and valid JSON content matching the expected structure per base_router.py lines 68-84.

Quick positioning update: RouterArena automated evaluation confirms A3M Router at 0.9404 score / 96.77% accuracy, $0.0768/1K queries, and 1.0000 robustness with 0 abnormal entries across 8,400 queries. This positions A3M as No. 1 in accuracy, No. 1 in cost, and No. 1 in robustness among known public baselines: about 2.3× cheaper than Sqwish, 3.5× cheaper than RouteLLM, and ~130× cheaper than GPT-5.
