Efficient and Trainable Language Model Test-Time Scaling via Local Branch Routing
Yutong Yin, Mingyu Jin, Jin Pan +12
Test-time scaling improves language-model reasoning, but existing approaches often face a difficult trade-off: long chain-of-thought sampling remains single-threaded, while sentenc…

Length Value Model: Scalable Value Pretraining for Token-Level Length Modeling
Zhen Zhang, Changyi Yang, Zijie Xia +11
Tokens are the fundamental units of computation in modern autoregressive models, and generation length directly influences both inference cost and reasoning performance. Despite it…
