The paper introduces Calibration-Aware Uncertainty Cascades (CAUC), a post‑hoc framework that calibrates each model’s confidence independently and uses these calibrated scores to decide when to accept an early prediction, invoke a stronger model, or combine outputs. CAUC establishes a common reliability scale across heterogeneous models, decoupling deployment policies from specific model pools or budgets. Experiments on six language benchmarks show a 1.9% relative accuracy gain over strong‑model‑only inference while cutting strong‑model calls by about 47%, and on image classification it maintains or improves performance while reducing GFLOPs by up to 57%.

FlexRouter is a routing framework for large language models that explicitly models model complementarity to maximize answer coverage. It formulates routing as a coverage-oriented subset selection problem and uses Determinantal Point Processes to capture both competence and redundancy. During inference, a greedy strategy based on marginal log-determinant gains allows the router to adaptively determine subset sizes without a fixed budget, achieving higher coverage with lower redundancy on the RouterEval benchmark.
