Adaptive Test-Time Compute Allocation with Evolving In-Context Demonstrations

arXiv:2604.21018v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: While scaling test-time compute can substantially improve model performance, existing approaches either rely on static compute allocation or sample from fixed generation distributions. In this work, we introduce a test-time compute allocation framework that jointly adapts where computation is spent and how generation is performed. Our method begins with a warm-up phase that identifies easy queries and assembles an initial pool of question-response
