  "summary": "Prediction cascades significantly reduce energy consumption of Artificial Intelligence (AI) models while maintaining high predictive performance. The idea is that easy inputs are routed through a lightweight small model, and difficult uncertain cases are deferred to a larger model. While this design can improve computational efficiency on clean data, its effectiveness depends on the reliability…",
