  • A benchmark score comes from a single phrasing of each problem.
  • BenchDrift generates meaning-preserving variations of benchmark problems along four axes, namely linguistic, referential, pragmatic, and structural, and measures how often, and why, correctness flips under each.

  • Measured by acceptance length, task-specific training yields clear specialization: MathInstruct-trained drafts are strongest on reasoning benchmarks, while ShareGPT-trained drafts are strongest on MT-Bench.
  • Finally, confidence is a more useful routing signal than entropy: rejected tokens tend to have higher entropy, but confidence produces much clearer benchmark-level routing decisions.

  • We introduce TrACE (Trajectorical Adaptive Compute via agrEement), a training-free controller that allocates LLM calls adaptively across agent timesteps by measuring inter-rollout action agreement.

  • Using roughly 48 execution-verified HumanEval training solutions, tuning a single initial state matrix per recurrent layer, with zero inference overhead, outperforms LoRA by +10.8 pp (p < 0.001) on HumanEval.
  • Cross-domain transfer is significant on MATH-500 (+4.8 pp, p = 0.00002, 8 seeds) and GSM8K (+2.8 pp, p = 0.0003, 10 seeds); a text-to-SQL benchmark (Spider) shows no transfer, consistent with the trajectory-steering mechanism.
