Test-time compute boosts LLM accuracy via majority vote, verifiers, and sequential reasoning

Test-time compute strategies allow for improved accuracy in language models by increasing computational resources during inference, rather than training larger models. Methods like majority vote (self-consistency) and best-of-N (using a verifier) leverage multiple samples to enhance performance. Sequential approaches, such as those seen in OpenAI's o1/o3 and DeepSeek-R1, further refine this by enabling models to perform self-correction and backtracking within a single, extended reasoning process.
