Abstract
SEAR is a schema-based system for evaluating and routing LLM responses that uses structured signals derived from LLM reasoning to enable accurate, interpretable routing decisions across multiple providers.
AI-generated summary
Evaluating production LLM responses and routing requests across providers in LLM gateways requires fine-grained quality signals and operationally grounded decisions. To address this gap, we present SEAR, a schema-based evaluation and routing system for multi-model, multi-provider LLM gateways. SEAR defines an extensible relational schema covering both LLM evaluation signals (context, intent, response characteristics, issue attribution, and quality scores) and gateway operational metrics (latency, cost, throughput), with cross-table consistency links across around one hundred typed, SQL-queryable columns. To populate the evaluation signals reliably, SEAR proposes self-contained signal instructions, in-schema reasoning, and multi-stage generation that produces database-ready structured outputs. Because signals are derived through LLM reasoning rather than shallow classifiers, SEAR captures complex request semantics, enables human-interpretable routing explanations, and unifies evaluation and routing in a single query layer. Across thousands of production sessions, SEAR achieves strong signal accuracy on human-labeled data and supports practical routing decisions, including large cost reductions with comparable quality.

EpochX: Building the Infrastructure for an Emergent Agent Civilization
General-purpose technologies reshape economies less by improving individual tools than by enabling new ways to organize production and coordination. We believe AI agents are approaching a similar inflection point: as foundation models make broad task execution and tool use increasingly accessible, the binding constraint shifts from raw capability to how work is delegated, verified, and rewarded at scale. We introduce EpochX, a credits-native marketplace infrastructure for human-agent production ... (4 upvotes on HuggingFace)
