Test-Time Scaling in Reasoning LLMs: Inference Regimes, Evaluation, and Reproducibility
arXiv cs.AI · Published · 3 min read

- What happened
- Researchers formalize test-time scaling for reasoning LLMs into three structural regimes and establish evaluation principles to make results comparable across studies.
- Why it matters
- Engineers building or evaluating reasoning models need consistent frameworks to compare inference methods and report compute costs meaningfully.
- Watch out
- The paper distinguishes three different algorithmic approaches to test-time scaling; treating them as interchangeable under one budget metric obscures actual performance differences.
