Flash-BoN Preserves Candidate Diversity

This reply further explains why diversity is critical for test-time scaling: without sufficiently diverse candidates, the search space isn't truly expanding.
The author notes that while they scale the candidate pool by accelerating generation, Flash-BoN's diversity does not drop—it remains stably on the high-diversity side. The reason is that cheaper drafts yield not only more candidates but also substantially different ones. The original post also mentioned that the paper includes sample comparisons across different models and methods.
