A benchmark designed to evaluate LLM routing capabilities, named OmnisBench, was found to have a flaw where its output token limit inadvertently penalized models for taking too long to reason. Initially, the benchmark reported low scores for even advanced models, but upon reviewing the raw responses, it was discovered that models were hitting the token limit before providing solutions. After adjusting the output token limit to accommodate longer reasoning processes, the benchmark yielded more accurate results, showing a significant drop for smaller models due to data contamination and a substantial improvement in the effectiveness of routing strategies.
