This prevents the +comparison from silently degrading into a single-model answer. In these two +uncontrolled observations, fusion was about 1.9x and 4.0x faster than Astra. + +### Quality assessment + +Both routes passed the same manual checklist: complete response, requested word +limit, correct completion-order concurrency, loser cancellation without detached +work, useful all-failed error handling, and implementation-level pseudocode. The +fusion review explicitly caught insertion-order waiting, detached `JoinHandle`s, +discarded backend and join errors, and showed `JoinSet::shutdown().await` to abort +and join losers. Astra was also technically strong. These two samples support +comparable quality with lower observed latency, not a claim that fusion is more +capable than Astra. A quality-superiority claim needs a larger blinded rubric or +task benchmark. + +## Expanded blinded quality comparison + +A follow-up comparison used six checkable cases spanning Rust concurrency, +Python debugging, Bayesian arithmetic, Boolean logic, strict JSON formatting, +and transactional-outbox design. For each case, the `fusion` and `astra` requests +started together. Their answers were assigned alternating anonymous A/B labels +and judged by `azure/openai/gpt-5.6-terra`, which was neither the baseline nor an +ensemble candidate. The judge scored correctness, completeness, instruction +following, and clarity from 1–5 against a case-specific rubric. Deterministic +checks such as word counts and exact JSON took precedence over the model judge. + +| Case | Fusion time | Astra time | Fusion score | Astra score | Blind result | +|---|---:|---:|---:|---:|:---:| +| Tokio first-success review | 33.27 s | 125.30 s | 20/20 | 20/20 | tie | +| Python LRU debugging | 12.46 s | 16.49 s | 20/20 | 20/20 | tie | +| Two-test Bayesian posterior | 10.66 s | 10.27 s | 20/20 | 20/20 | tie | +| Boolean truth-value derivation | 10.33 s | 19.85 s | 20/20 | 20/20 | tie | +| Exact JSON sorting | 6.10 s | 3.72 s | 20/20 | 20/20 | tie | +| Transactional outbox | 28.13 s | 46.92 s | 20/20 | 20/20 | tie | +| **Arithmetic mean** | **16.83 s** | **37.09 s** | **20/20** | **20/20** | **6 ties** | +| **Median** | **11.56 s** | **18.17 s** | — | — | — | + +Fusion was faster in four of six cases. Astra was slightly faster on the short +Bayes calculation and the trivial exact-JSON transform, where three ensemble +calls offer little benefit. All twelve final answers completed successfully. + +The quality pass exposed a defect that the judge missed: the first fusion outbox +answer contained 224 whitespace-delimited words against a 220-word maximum. +The default synthesis instruction was hardened to leave a safety margin below +hard limits. Its rerun contained 219 words, preserved every rubric requirement, +and again received a blind 20/20 tie. This corrected rerun is the row reported +above. + +This remains an exploratory six-case comparison with one automated judge, not a +statistically powered capability benchmark. It supports comparable quality on +these cases and shows where ensemble overhead is wasteful; it does not establish +general superiority over Astra. A release claim should use a larger randomized +task set, multiple independent judges, repeated samples, and end-to-end cost +accounting. + +The first-success answers covered concurrent polling, first observed success, +loser cancellation, typed all-failed errors, structured task lifetime, replayable +bodies, timeout policy, and simultaneous completions. The code-review answers +both identified insertion-order waiting and detached Tokio tasks. The ensemble +answer additionally showed `JoinSet::abort_all` followed by draining every task; +the Astra answer used owned futures and explained that dropping local work cannot +cancel remote side effects. + +`Terminal response tokens` is the usage returned for the final visible response. +It excludes the two candidate calls, so it must not be used as an ensemble cost +comparison. The ensemble makes three calls per request and should be assumed more +expensive than the one-call Astra baseline until end-to-end candidate usage is +captured. + +## Prompt 1: first-success design + +> In at most 220 words, explain how a Rust/Tokio gateway should send the same +> request to three backends concurrently and return the first successful +> response. Include concise implementation-level pseudocode. It must cancel +> losing calls, preserve a useful typed error if every backend fails, and never +> leave detached tasks. End with a short list of the key concurrency invariants +> and edge cases. The answer must be complete and stay under 220 words. + +## Prompt 2: broken fan-out review + +> In at most 220 words, review this Rust/Tokio pseudocode against the requirement +> “return the first successful backend response and cancel all losers without +> detached work.” Identify the important correctness and lifecycle bugs, then +> show a corrected pattern. The answer must be complete. + +The reviewed function spawned one task per backend, stored the handles in a +vector, awaited them in insertion order, returned on the first successful await, +and otherwise returned an untyped `AllFailed` error. + +## Hardening evidence + +An earlier configuration used Opus 5 as synthesizer and forwarded uncapped +candidate outputs including reasoning. On the first-success prompt it repeatedly +exhausted the 1,024-token cap and returned an incomplete or empty visible answer. +Using SOL as synthesizer worked, and the implementation was then hardened to: + +- buffer internal candidate calls; +- budget candidate output independently from the final response; +- remove reasoning blocks before synthesis; +- optionally require more than one usable candidate before synthesis; +- leave margin below caller-specified hard length limits; +- require concise, complete synthesis by default while allowing prompt override; +- preserve the caller's final streaming and output settings. + +The relevant unit tests verify concurrent fan-out, partial candidate failure, +all-candidate failure, candidate caps, reasoning removal, exact-replay +invalidation, and configuration validation. A server integration test sends an +ensemble request through the public OpenAI-compatible endpoint and verifies both +candidate calls, independent candidate budgets, both drafts in the synthesis +request, the final caller budget, and the synthesized response. diff --git a/benchmark/server-configs/inference-api-ensemble-sol-opus-vs-astra.toml b/benchmark/server-configs/inference-api-ensemble-sol-opus-vs-astra.toml new file mode 100644 index 000000000..04d002237 --- /dev/null +++ b/benchmark/server-configs/inference-api-ensemble-sol-opus-vs-astra.toml @@ -0,0 +1,32 @@ +schema_version = 1 + +[llm_clients.inference] +format = "openai_responses" +base_url = "https://inference-api.nvidia.com/v1" +api_key_env = "NVIDIA_API_KEY" +max_retries = 0 + +[targets.sol] +id = "azure/openai/gpt-5.6-sol" +llm_client = "inference" + +[targets.opus] +id = "azure/anthropic/claude-opus-5" +llm_client = "inference" + +[targets.astra] +id = "azure/openai/gpt-6-astra" +llm_client = "inference" + +[routes.astra] +id = "astra" +type = "passthrough" +target = "astra" + +[routes.fusion] +id = "fusion" +type = "ensemble" +candidates = ["sol", "opus"] +synthesizer_target = "sol" +minimum_successful_candidates = 2 +candidate_max_output_tokens = 2048 diff --git a/crates/libsy/README.md b/crates/libsy/README.md index 9fe72f21a..57152f64b 100644 --- a/crates/libsy/README.md +++ b/crates/libsy/README.md @@ -23,6 +23,7 @@ tokio = { version = "1", features = ["macros", "rt"] } |---|---| | [`Passthrough`] | Always select one configured target. | | [`Random`] | Select among any number of targets using uniform or weighted routing. | +| [`Ensemble`] | Generate candidates concurrently and synthesize them into one response. | | [`LlmTaskClassifier`] | Ask a judge model to choose an efficient or capable target. | | [`StageRouter`] | Route coding-agent turns from tool and progress signals, with an optional judge fallback. | diff --git a/crates/libsy/src/algorithms.rs b/crates/libsy/src/algorithms.rs index fa6c2af5d..55248ef67 100644 --- a/crates/libsy/src/algorithms.rs +++ b/crates/libsy/src/algorithms.rs @@ -8,6 +8,7 @@ pub mod advisor_gate; pub mod composite; +pub mod ensemble; mod escalation; pub mod fall_through; pub mod llm_class; diff --git a/crates/libsy/src/algorithms/ensemble.rs b/crates/libsy/src/algorithms/ensemble.rs new file mode 100644 index 000000000..13c3b4f47 --- /dev/null +++ b/crates/libsy/src/algorithms/ensemble.rs @@ -0,0 +1,561 @@ +// SPDX-FileCopyrightText: Copyright (c) 2026 NVIDIA CORPORATION & AFFILIATES.
