Researchers have developed a new method called SLOP (sharpened logarithmic opinion pool) to improve inference-time alignment for generative models. This technique allows for continual adaptation of alignment objectives and reward targets without the need for costly reinforcement learning. By adjusting reference-model temperature and calibrating SLOP weights, the method enhances robustness against reward hacking while maintaining alignment performance. AI
