We explain it from scratch as a test-time-compute design. 02 ·Large Language Models·FREE·PAPER·13 min read Test-Time Scaling — How Models Get Better by Thinking Longer The same model scores higher when you let it think longer. This article builds the idea from scratch: chain-of-thought as purchased compute steps, self-consistency by majority vote, verifiers that pick the winner, and o1-style models that learned the thinking itself — and what it means for compute to shift from training to inference.
