RefRoute generates many-reference images using 256 tokens per reference, pixel-residual features, and routing to assigned scene regions. It blocks direct interactions between references while allowing influence outside assigned regions. After fine-tuning, it scores 36.06 versus 8.88 for FLUX.2-Klein-9B on ManyRef100. At 16 references, latency is 18.3 times lower than the 50-step FLUX baseline; on few-reference MICo-Bench, its score remains lower.
