New method enhances LLM reasoning diversity without sacrificing stability

Researchers have introduced Expert-Sample, a novel training-free method designed to enhance the performance of fine-grained Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) models. This technique addresses the trade-off between diversity and stability in test-time scaling by analyzing the routing scores of MoE layers. Expert-Sample leverages the observation that MoE routers exhibit a high-confidence 'certain head' and a low-confidence 'uncertain tail', selectively injecting stochasticity into the latter to improve generation diversity without compromising output stability. The method has demonstrated consistent improvements in accuracy and pass@n metrics across various reasoning and coding tasks when evaluated on models like Qwen3-30B-A3B-Instruct. AI

    Certain Head, Uncertain Tail: Expert-Sample for Test-Time Scaling in Fine-Grained MoE

    arXiv:2602.02443v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Test-time scaling improves LLM performance by generating multiple candidate solutions, yet token-level sampling requires temperature tuning that trades off diversity against stability. Fine-grained MoE, featuring hundreds of wel…
