Can 1B LLM Surpass 405B LLM? Rethinking Compute-Optimal Test-Time Scaling
Test-Time Scaling (TTS) is an important method for improving the performance of Large Language Models (LLMs) by using additional computation during the inference phase. However, current studies do not systematically analyze how policy models, Process Reward Models (PRMs), and problem difficulty influence TTS. This lack of analysis limits the understanding and practical use of TTS methods. In this paper, we focus on two core questions: (1) What is the optimal app ... ⌘ Read more

Crustacean for Lobste.rs
Howdy folks!
I wrote a native app for Lobste.rs to give back to the fantastic community and was wondering if I could have the opportunity for some feedback. It is still very early days but here is a list of things that work:

- Read only access to the trending, active & new tabs.
- Comments for the said tabs.
- Infinite loading for data in the said tabs.
- Offline caching for when you need to read stuff but don’t have internet.
