arXiv:2606.04402v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Test-time compute has emerged as an effective paradigm for improving large language model capability at inference time. Existing allocation strategies primarily prioritize tasks according to difficulty, uncertainty, or expected performance gain, implicitly treating prediction errors as equally costly. This assumption is often misaligned with real deployment, where failures can differ substantially in their downstream tasks. To address this limitation, this paper introduces consequence-aware test-time compute allocation by formulating a cost-w
