摘要
Heterogeneous large language models (LLMs) exhibit complementary strengths, motivating routing and multi-model inference methods that seek to identify reliable predictions for each input. However, exploiting this complementarity remains challenging even when a correct prediction is available within the ensemble. We investigate this challenge across heterogeneous LLM ensembles and find that a simple single-round aggregation rule is highly competitive with learned routing methods, yet substantial oracle headroom remains. Further analysis shows that the evaluated single-round response signals provide limited discriminative power for identifying reliable predictions. In contrast, controlled re-presentations of the same question elicit complementary evidence about prediction reliability. Motivated by these findings, we introduce RE-PRESENT, a training-free framework that selectively re-presents disputed questions and directly aggregates candidate-level evidence across alternative views. Across seven multiple-choice benchmarks and two heterogeneous model ensembles, RE-PRESENT improves over strong single-round aggregation while offering a favorable accuracy--cost trade-off compared with self-consistency and multi-model debate.
