LLM review loops need new stopping rules, not more rounds

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

An LLM reviewer functions as a sampler of potential issues rather than a definitive validator, meaning it may produce different findings even on unchanged work. This characteristic prevents a simple "review until no new issues are found" approach from guaranteeing completion. The solution involves classifying findings into critical/important (which are enumerable and can converge to zero) and cosmetic (which are effectively unbounded and vary per run). A robust stopping rule should focus on clearing critical and important findings, while capping cosmetic ones, rather than relying on a fixed number of review rounds. AI

IMPACT Provides a practical framework for managing LLM review processes, improving efficiency by distinguishing between critical and cosmetic findings.
