Chopthin-Consensus Power Sampling: A Diversity-Preserving Approach to LLM Decoding

Inference-time power sampling via Sequential Monte Carlo (SMC) can substantially improve large language model (LLM) reasoning without requiring post-training. However, many existing SMC approaches rely on equal-weight resampling, which can aggressively prune low-weight trajectories, discarding potentially correct reaso...
