Researchers have developed Weighted Ensemble (WE), a new training-free framework designed to more efficiently estimate the probabilities of rare but severe failures in large language models. Unlike traditional Monte Carlo sampling or methods requiring auxiliary proposal distributions, WE samples directly from the language model itself. It dynamically reallocates its sampling budget towards prefixes that show a higher likelihood of reaching a target rare event, using internal LLM representations as signals. Experiments on safety-related tasks with both small and large language models show that WE enhances the efficiency and reliability of estimating these critical failure probabilities. AI
