C3RL is a new RL algorithm combining correctness, calibration, and reference accuracy rewards to improve LLM confidence calibration, enabling CAS to outperform majority voting with up to 12.33x lower inference cost.
Empirical evaluation on Gemini 2.5 models shows self-consistency yields only 0.4% gain on HotpotQA and 1.6% on MATH-500 across 20 samples while token costs scale linearly, with performance plateauing or declining at higher counts.
The paper reduces a broad set of prompt engineering techniques to six core approaches and applies them to life sciences use cases while addressing common LLM pitfalls.
