We study a Bayesian binary sequential hypothesis testing problem with multiple large language models (LLMs). Each LLM $j$ has per-query cost $c_j>0$, random waiting time with mean $μ_j>0$ and sub-Gaussian tails, and \emph{asymmetric} accuracies: the probability of returning the correct label depends on the true hypothesis $θ\in\{A,B\}$ and needs not be the same under $A$ and $B$. This asymmetry induces two distinct information rates $(I_{j,A}, I_{j,B})$ per LLM, one under each hypothesis. The decision-maker chooses LLMs sequentially, observes their noisy binary answers, and stops when the posterior probability of one hypothesis exceeds $1-α$. The objective is to minimize the sum of expected query cost and expected waiting cost, $\mathbb{E}[C_π] + \mathbb{E}[g(W_π)]$, where $C_π$ is the total query cost, $W_π$ is the total waiting time and $g$ is a polynomial function (e.g., $g(x)=x^ρ$ with $ρ\ge 1$). We prove that as the error tolerance $α\to0$, the optimal policy is asymptotically equivalent to one that uses at most two LLMs. In this case, a single-LLM policy is \emph{not} generically optimal: optimality now requires exploiting a two-dimensional tradeoff between information under $A$ and information under $B$. Any admissible policy induces an expected information-allocation vector in $\mathbb{R}_+^2$, and we show that the optimal allocation lies at an extreme point of the associated convex set when $α$ is relatively small, and hence uses at most two LLMs. We construct belief-dependent policies that first mix between two LLMs when the posterior is ambiguous, and then switch to a single "specialist" LLM when the posterior is sufficiently close to one of the hypotheses. These policies match the universal lower bound up to a $(1+o(1))$ factor as $α\rightarrow 0$.
