One Human, $N$ Agents: Audit-Budget Allocation for LLM Agent Fleets under Miscalibrated, Correlated Confidence

Read the original on Hugging Face Trending Papers →

A single human must audit $N$ LLM agents under a budget of $B \ll N$ audits per round, guided by self-reported confidence that may be adversarially miscalibrated and by correlated errors. We model this as budgeted noisy inspection over a two-level Gaussian copula and locate the miscalibration threshold $δ^*$ past which confidence-ranked auditing is \emph{worse} than random.

Pay Only for Disagreement: Certified No-Regression Verdicts for Model Updates with Matching Label-Complexity Bounds

The paper introduces DISCERN, a two-tier protocol for certifying that updates to production models do not increase risk. It first uses unlabeled data to detect benign updates based on disagreement rates, then selectively labels only disagreements through an anytime-valid confidence sequence. The method achieves finite-sample validity with label-complexity bounds of order ρ²/ε², demonstrating significant label savings and strong empirical performance across 14,000+ audit streams.

Adaptive auditing of AI systems with anytime-valid guarantees

The paper introduces a hypothesis testing framework for adaptive auditing of AI systems, addressing the challenge of limited, opportunistically collected data. It defines two competing null hypotheses—one from the model’s perspective and one from the auditor’s—and uses Safe Anytime-Valid Inference (SAVI) to perform betting-based tests that yield simultaneous e-processes. The authors prove that, with a powerful auditor, the two hypotheses become asymptotically inverse, allowing a global robustness certification, and demonstrate empirically that their methods control Type‑I error and can reach conclusions with as few as 20 observations.
