New BOSS policy optimizes LLM reasoning under token budget

Researchers have developed BOSS, a novel training-free policy designed to optimize Large Language Model (LLM) reasoning within a strict token budget. BOSS addresses the challenge of within-instance allocation by making real-time decisions on when to stop generation, produce another candidate, or evaluate existing candidates. Tested on Llama-3.1 models across four reasoning benchmarks, BOSS demonstrated superior accuracy in 22 out of 24 model-task-budget configurations compared to existing methods like Adaptive Consistency Strategy of Multiple Controllers in SDN and TALE-EP. AI

IMPACT This new policy could improve the efficiency and accuracy of LLM reasoning in applications with strict computational constraints.

    BOSS: Token-Budgeted Online Sampling and Selection for LLM Reasoning

    Test-time scaling can improve LLM reasoning, but existing approaches typically adapt generation or apply answer selection after a predetermined generation schedule. We study within-instance allocation: under a hard per-instance prompt-plus-completion token cap, when should infere…
