Metered Commit Gates: Energy-to-Correct-Completion for Agentic Systems
This paper defines a gate that lets a machine act only after a check passes, and a rule that tries the cheapest method first. It reports software results and one board-level energy measurement, each labeled by how it was obtained.
In plain words
- A computer should not take an action that cannot be undone until a simple check says it is safe.
- It should try the cheapest way to finish a job first and use a big AI (artificial intelligence) model only if nothing cheaper works.
- Every decision is written down with the energy it used, so anyone can check it later.
