Core Innovation

This paper presents FusionBench, a novel benchmark collecting routing data from 20 open-source LLMs across diverse tasks. It also introduces FusionFactory, a three-level fusion framework that integrates query-level, thought-level, and model-level fusion to systematically leverage strengths of multiple LLMs. This approach surpasses the performance of the best individual models by intelligently combining their outputs.
