Agentic Scaling Laws

🎯 The Core Thesis

Scaling compute during inference (test-time compute) yields similar gains to scaling training data.

💡 The Innovation

Introduces ‘Recursive Verification’ where the model generates 10 candidate paths and a separate verifier la-model selects the optimal one.

📈 Key Results

30% increase in complex math reasoning on the MATH-Hard benchmark.

🌍 Implications

Shift in training focus from just ‘more data’ to ‘better verification’ processes.

⚖️ Verdict

High Impact.
