Test-Time 'Breadth' in LLMs: Scaling Inference Without Pricey Tree Search
zhaoran_wang · x · 2026-07-04
Research institute tilderesearch initiated a technical thread exploring how to grant language models more expressive test-time "breadth" without relying on expensive full solution tree searches. By leveraging long Chain-of-Thought (long CoT), it achieves more efficient inference scaling. This is a methodological discussion focused on inference and test-time compute.
