I would like to see this (and any model router, frankly) benchmarked against two things, personally:

1) Claude Code's "advisor mode" (nominally, Sonnet 5.5 with a Fable advisor)

2) Copilot's "HydraFusion" model router/advisor combo.

Specifically I would like to see them compared on architecture planning (both human assisted and hands-off with a draft document) and code review, as these are what I have found the most significant improvement on with multi-model systems.

> our initial hypothesis that an ensemble of models can do better than any single model ever could.

To your hypothesis, anecdotally I find both of these offerings to be far superior to any single model for most tasks of any real complexity, and both to have general frustration/failure cases that single models do not. I would not be surprised that any ensemble approach that utilizes more than one single model meets this hypothesis.

Quite frequently I delegate review and restructuring loops to subagents acting as judges/advisors to tell the primary agent if it met the goal it was instructed to. For some workloads, I will even vet every tool call and user-facing output this way.
