Conformal prediction (CP) is widely presented as distribution-free predictive inference with finite-sample marginal coverage under exchangeability. We argue that CP is best understood as a rank-calibrated descendant of the…

Access to modern generative systems is often restricted to querying an API (the ``black-box" setting) and many properties of the system are unknown to the user at inference time. While recent work has shown that low-dimensional…
