Calibration-Aware Uncertainty Cascades is proposed, a simple post-hoc framework that independently calibrates each model's confidence and selects deployment policies using validation data and shows theoretically that calibration gives confidence thresholds an explicit selective-risk interpretation, whereas uncalibrated scores offer no comparable reliability guarantee.

Modern VLMs already encode much of what is needed for specialized domains; the challenge is learning how to ask, suggests modern VLMs already encode much of what is needed for specialized domains; the challenge is learning how to ask.
