Key points

  • It is the first modality plus model co-routing framework that uses the complementarity of LLMs for numerical accuracy and VLMs for global patterns.
  • It models complex interactions with a heterogeneous graph over task, query, modality, and model and uses a GNN.
  • On four time-series reasoning tasks, it achieves 16% to 46% relative improvements and builds a Pareto frontier with cost-aware optimization.
  • It greatly outperforms the best baseline even when using only 10% of the training data, showing data efficiency.
  • GPT-5 is used for node profiling and initialization from pretrained embeddings, enabling zero-shot generalization to new models and tasks.
  • The user-defined alpha parameter allows real-time control of the performance-cost tradeoff.
