自一致性:Choice
为审核决策添加一种不确定的结果,并把标签一致性与自动动作的占比进行比较。
本实战指南取一条处于临界状态的用户帖子,在其上运行一套审核评分准则 15 次,并检查每次的答案在多次重复之间是否保持不变。每项检查都是一个 Choice,因此每个答案都是从固定集合中选出的一个标签。在审核流水线中,这个标签就是路由决策:删除还是保留、升级还是自动解决、发往威胁队列、垃圾队列还是通用队列。当标签在一次次运行之间摇摆时,同一条帖子就会无缘无故地被路由到不同的地方。
评分准则由 8 个 Choice 问题组成,每次运行就是一次回答全部 8 个问题的调用。我们在每个条件下重复 15 次——条件指一个模型加一项设置——并绘制返回的每一个标签。
条件如下:
非推理 LLM
claude-haiku-4-5和gpt-5.4-mini,分别在 temperature0和 API 默认值下运行。推理 LLM
gpt-5.5和claude-opus-4-8,它们没有 temperature 旋钮。TypeSafe:对这 8 个
Choice问题发起一次system_one调用,每次调用都带一个全新的uid字段(一次性唯一值),与 noul 实战指南中的设置一致。
需要关注的:即便在单个条件内部,选中的标签也可能翻转——TypeSafe 也不例外——而且各条件之间彼此不一致。
在本次运行中,各 LLM 分布设置复现其多数标签的比例在 87.5% 到 100% 之间,而 TypeSafe 为 90.8%。TypeSafe 的平均概率波动低于六个 LLM 分布条件中的五个;temperature 0 下的 Haiku 波动更小。接近的概率仍可能导致路由变化:TypeSafe 在 8 个问题中有 2 个发生了翻转。
在应用层决策上,我们还要求最高概率至少达到 0.60;否则结果为 uncertain,转入人工审核。这样 TypeSafe 的一致性升至 99.2%,其中 74.2% 的答案带有自动标签。我们会展示原始输出,并对 LLM 概率条件应用同样的阈值,让弃权和变化保持可见。
环境准备
pip install anthropic openai matplotlib ipython 'cooksafe>=0.2.0,<0.3.0'然后设置 TYPESAFE_API_KEY、ANTHROPIC_API_KEY 和 OPENAI_API_KEY。本次运行在生产 API 上使用 jev-latest,采样日期为 2026-09-11。

)状态:一条处于临界状态的用户帖子(JSON 格式)
下面的帖子是刻意设计成骑墙的。语言激烈且带侮辱性,一部分针对某个人,一部分针对观点和社区。它带有一条站外邀请(把人引到另一个站点的链接),账号已有一条前科,还有四条用户举报,而类似威胁的措辞从头到尾都没有说得清楚明白。
这里不存在一个显而易见的唯一答案,而这正是要点:细微的措辞差异不应随机地把同一条帖子在执法路径之间来回挪动。
LLM 在提示词中拿到的是 json.dumps(POST)。TypeSafe 则直接拿到 Python 字典。

}我们的提问方式
每次 LLM 调用都是一条提示词,其中包含 json.dumps(POST)、全部 8 个问题以及每个允许的标签。答案格式有两种。在分布模式下,模型为每个问题返回一个 JSON 对象,并给每个标签一个概率。在单选模式下,它为每个问题返回一个裸标签,我们的分析会把全部概率质量放到该标签上。
TypeSafe 调用则是对同一帖子、同样 8 个 Choice 问题发起的一次 system_one 请求,为每个问题返回一个分布。
每次查询还带一个全新的 uid——一个一次性唯一值,它在每次运行时变化,而帖子与评分准则保持不变。它出现在 LLM 提示词中,也作为额外字段出现在 TypeSafe 状态里。这一设置无法把对该无关字段的敏感度、与完全相同请求本来就会出现的波动区分开来。
每个辅助函数都返回答案、估算成本和往返延迟。

单元格文字:应用层决策加上最高标签上的概率。
单元格颜色:标签在该问题中的位置,因此一行从头到尾同色意味着每次决策都相同。

较明确的问题保持稳定:target 全部读作 Person,severity 全部读作 High。临界问题则在各条件间分裂:category、primary_risk、action、review_path 和 link_handling。有些条件在自己内部的 15 次重复中也会翻转。在引入弃权机制之前,TypeSafe 在 primary_risk 上更换过最高标签(Harassment 11 次,Violence 4 次),在 link_handling 上也是(RmLink 8 次,Brigade 7 次)。这两行现在全程显示 uncertain,因为它们的最高概率低于 0.60。
概率标准差
这里考察的是完整的概率向量,而不只是选中的标签。对每个条件,我们收集每个问题的全部 15 个分布,计算每个标签的概率在重复之间的标准差(即它每次运行移动多少),再把这些标准差在所有标签和问题上取平均。我们还会报告单个标签的最大标准差,并把解析失败单独计数。
表中将每个输出概率的 LLM 条件与 TypeSafe 进行对比。单选行被排除在外,因为它们输出的是硬标签而非概率分布。

图表:带不确定结果的决策一致性
当最高概率低于 0.60 时返回 uncertain。对每个输出概率的条件和每个问题,统计最常见的应用层决策(包括 uncertain),再除以全部 15 次抽样。解析失败计为不一致。每根柱子是该得分在全部 8 个问题上的平均值,并按一致性从高到低排列。
单选 LLM 条件被排除,因为它们不提供不确定性估计。

在同一 0.60 规则下,temperature 0 的 Haiku 得到 100%。TypeSafe 得到 99.2%,其余 LLM 条件落在 84.2% 到 94.2% 之间。TypeSafe 在 25.8% 的答案上返回 uncertain,并在其余 74.2% 上自动执行;temperature 0 的 Haiku 从不弃权。这些百分比只衡量可重复性。下表将原始一致性与弃权率同本图中的策略一致性并列展示。
让不确定的概率产生不确定的决策
很小的概率变化就能让两个接近的标签互换。应用不必按胜出标签执行:当最高概率低于 0.60 时返回 uncertain,把该案例交给人工。恰好等于 0.60 时,选择最高标签。这里使用的是返回的概率,而不是 API 单独的 confidence 字段,并且不会增加任何模型调用。
该阈值只是一个示例性的应用策略,不是经过校准的保证,也不是为最大化本次运行的一致性而挑选的阈值。生产环境的阈值应结合带标注的样本、错误动作的成本以及人工审核的成本来选取。
我们对每个输出概率的条件应用同一规则。单选 LLM 回复没有概率估计;其人工合成的 one-hot 向量无法度量不确定性,因此被排除在一致性图表和表格外。

TypeSafe 的一致性从 90.8% 升至 99.2%。答案中有 25.8% 为不确定,74.2% 为自动。primary_risk 和 link_handling 在每一次重复中都是不确定;category 在 Violence 和 uncertain 之间交替,有些重复越过动作阈值,有些没有。没有任何问题产生过两个不同的具体 TypeSafe 标签。这些都说明不了准确性或优越性:temperature 0 的 Haiku 在这里达到了 100% 一致,且零弃权。

这一策略并不会让模型变成确定性的。弃权可以把相互竞争的标签统一成同一种人工审核结果,但接近 0.60 的概率仍可能在具体标签与 uncertain 之间移动。概率统计和表格中的 raw agree 列报告的仍然是原始模型输出。
