LLM pipelines can lose 40.5 accuracy points between stages
The Decomposition Tax: LLM Pipelines Lose Up to 40 Accuracy Points at Their Own Interfaces
Across mathematical reasoning benchmarks, preserving access to the original problem substantially improved multi-stage pipelines without changing the model, prompts, stages or completion budget.
MATH-500: 37 pts accuracy (decomposition tax) (as reported)
