ReDAct: Uncertainty-Aware Deferral for LLM Agents

ArXi:2604.07036v1 Announce Type: cross Recently, LLM-based agents have become increasingly popular across many applications, including complex sequential decision-making problems. However, they inherit the tendency of LLMs to hallucinate, leading to incorrect decisions. In sequential settings, even a single mistake can irreversibly degrade the trajectory, making hallucinations an even bigger problem. Although larger LLMs hallucinate less, they incur a significantly higher per-token cost. In this paper, we address this tradeoff by proposing ReDAct (Reason-Defer-Act
