arXiv:2607.01612v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Training large language models (LLMs) with reinforcement learning (RL) has significantly advanced their performance on reasoning and question-answering tasks. However, prevailing RL reward designs typically prioritize response corre…

Scaling inference compute, by generating many parallel attempts per problem, is a costly but reliable lever for improving language model capabilities. By default these attempts are generated independently, wasting inference compute on redundant solutions. This waste seems unavoid…
Sampling-based reasoning systems face a trade-off between coverage and selection, where additional samples beyond a few dozen provide diminishing returns and can degrade performance.

arXiv:2606.28661v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: People overthink; language models over-sample, and the extra effort can talk both into a worse answer. Reasoning systems answer a hard question by sampling it many times (test-time scaling), and the more they draw, the more often …

People overthink; language models over-sample, and the extra effort can talk both into a worse answer. Reasoning systems answer a hard question by sampling it many times (test-time scaling), and the more they draw, the more often a correct answer turns up somewhere, so coverage, …
