Large Language Models (LLMs) have become central to automated code generation, yet existing approaches operate within a single-LLM paradigm: one model is selected and applied throughout the entire generation process. We observe that different LLMs exhibit complementary strengths: no single model dominates across all programming languages, algorithmic problem categories, or development stages. Multi-LLM collaboration, structured as per-stage, per-category routing rather than majority voting, produces higher-quality code than any individual model. Based on this observation, we propose PerfOrch, a multi-agent orchestration system that decomposes code generation into four collaborative agents: categorization, generation, debugging, and refinement. Each agent maintains a Memory module: a ranking matrix indexed by programming language and problem category, constructed from offline profiling and consulted at runtime to select the most suitable model for each task. We evaluate PerfOrch on two benchmarks, HumanEval-X and EffiBench-X, totaling 2,500 problems across five languages (Python, Java, C++, Go, and Rust). PerfOrch achieves average pass@1 rates of 97.19% on HumanEval-X and 95.83% on EffiBench-X, improving over the strongest single-model pipeline by 1.22-14.58 percentage points across languages. Notably, Memory rankings constructed solely from HumanEval-X profiling generalize to the entirely unseen EffiBench-X benchmark without re-profiling, demonstrating that the complementary-strength patterns PerfOrch exploits are properties of the models rather than artifacts of a specific problem distribution. Beyond correctness, PerfOrch improves execution time for 61-90% of solved problems with mean speedups of 4.7-29.9%, matching the refinement coverage of exhaustive multi-model evaluation at roughly half the token cost.

Biometrics authentication has become increasingly popular due to its security and convenience; however, traditional biometrics are becoming less desirable in scenarios such as new mobile devices, Virtual Reality, and Smart Vehicles. For example, while face authentication is widely used, it suffers from significant privacy concerns. The collection of complete facial data makes it less desirable for privacy-sensitive applications. Lip authentication, on the other hand, has emerged as a promising biometrics method. However, existing lip-based authentication methods heavily depend on static lip shape when the mouth is closed, which can be less robust due to lip shape dynamic motion and can barely work when the user is speaking. In this paper, we revisit the nature of lip biometrics and extract shape-independent features from the lips. We study the dynamic characteristics of lip biometrics based on articulator motion. Building on the knowledge, we propose a system for shape-independent continuous authentication via lip articulator dynamics. This system enables robust, shape-independent and continuous authentication, making it particularly suitable for scenarios with high security and privacy requirements. We conducted comprehensive experiments in different environments and attack scenarios and collected a dataset of 50 subjects. The results indicate that our system achieves an overall accuracy of 99.06% and demonstrates robustness under advanced mimic attacks and AI deepfake attacks, making it a viable solution for continuous biometric authentication in various applications.
