A new technical paper explores the challenges of agent determinism and budget constraints in large language model (LLM) systems. The research highlights that when the volume of true positives exceeds a system's processing budget, the order of items becomes more critical than the specific trigger definition. Experiments with models like qwen3-0.5b and gemma3 suggest that current single-judge outputs do not provide enough 'miss mass' for displacement-based triggers to be effective. The paper also investigates whether ranking mechanisms can improve performance within escalation streams, finding that a ranker named R_hist shows promise under specific stress conditions, though its effectiveness is limited to the tested traffic and budget parameters.
