AI Analysis

●●●BangerBig BrainWizardry

Sequential hypothesis testing stops sampling the instant confidence clears the bar.

Strengths
  • •SPRT optimal stopping logic saves tokens by quitting early instead of waiting for all heads.
  • •Percolation theory calculates blast radius to raise confidence bars for critical code paths.
  • •Cost-quality Pareto frontier routing picks the cheapest model that clears the specific task bar.
Weaknesses
  • •Relies on local models being pre-loaded; cold starts on lower-tier heads could spike latency.
  • •Complex statistical configuration might overwhelm devs who just want simple round-robin fallback.
