LLM compute allocation hinges on prior information, not just policy

A new research paper explores optimal strategies for allocating computational resources to large language models (LLMs) when processing multiple inputs under a limited budget. The study, published on arXiv, suggests that the effectiveness of compute allocation depends more on prior information about input solvability than on the policy itself. By leveraging a verifier and a prior derived from a related model's past runs, Thompson Sampling can significantly improve the success rate on difficult workloads, outperforming simpler policies like round-robin allocation.
