Designing Agentic AI Workflow Portfolios under Imperfect Selection and Compute Cost

arXiv · AI, language, vision and robotics · article · Sep 16, 2026 · UTC

Agentic AI systems often approach the same task through multiple workflows that differ in reasoning strategy, verification structure, and compute cost. A natural deployment policy is to use the workflow with the highest average performance, but this can be suboptimal because different workflows may succeed on different instances. We study a portfolio-and-selector paradigm in which a firm runs multiple workflow executions and selects the final answer after observing their outputs. Additional executions may uncover correct answers that the best standalone workflow misses, but they consume comput
