Process Supervision via Verbal Critique Improves Reasoning in Large Language Models

Researchers have developed a new framework called Verbal Process Supervision (VPS) that enhances the reasoning capabilities of large language models without requiring gradient updates. This method utilizes structured natural-language critiques from a more powerful AI to guide an iterative generate-critique-refine process. Experiments on benchmarks like GPQA Diamond and AIME 2025 demonstrated significant improvements, with VPS surpassing existing state-of-the-art results and outperforming other methods like Reflexion and Self-Consistency. AI

IMPACT Introduces a new method for improving LLM reasoning performance without retraining, potentially reducing inference costs and improving accuracy on complex tasks.

    Process Supervision via Verbal Critique Improves Reasoning in Large Language Models

    Inference-time scaling for LLM reasoning has focused on three axes: chain depth, sample breadth, and learned step-scorers (PRMs). We introduce a fourth axis, granularity of external verbal supervision, via Verbal Process Supervision (VPS), a training-free framework that uses stru…
