On ChemKGMultiHopQA, iterative retrieval-reasoning outperformed oracle gold-context static RAG for all 11 LLMs tested, with gains up to 25.6 percentage points.
SAGE uses offline imitation learning from a latency-quality oracle to choose per-query retrieval budgets, reporting 95% SLO compliance and 51% lower retrieval cost on Natural Questions with 2 points of EM loss.
TASR provides a training-free predicate that stops iterative retrieval on repeated normalized answers plus calibrated logit margin above 0.25, retaining 94.8% of fixed-k=5 F1 at 62.6% of the calls across 32 configurations.
Reporting a local decision metric and a task outcome in the same paper does not establish that better local decisions caused the task-level gain; only matched, controlled comparisons can.
