Sleep-time Compute: letting models think ahead during idle time
gerardsans · x · 2026-08-25
This week's #PaperILike is "Sleep-time Compute: Beyond Inference Scaling at Test-time" (Lin et al., 2025). The idea: robots/models should use idle time to think ahead about likely requests using context, going beyond test-time inference scaling.
A replier adds a caveat: be suspicious of any research paper that screams anthropomorphism in its title.
