Hill Sampling improves LLM test-time performance, outperforming complex methods

A new research paper introduces Hill Sampling, a novel method for improving the performance of large language models (LLMs) at test time. This technique involves repeatedly sampling candidate programs from a frozen LLM and conditioning subsequent samples on the best program found so far. Hill Sampling has demonstrated state-of-the-art results on circle packing and improved performance on Erdos' minimum-overlap problem, outperforming more complex methods like Evolution Strategies and repeated sampling.
