Test-Time Compute vs More Parameters: Where the Inference Budget Actually Goes
Two roads lead to a smarter answer. a larger trained model front-loads the work into training, so every inference is a single forward pass through a heavy network. test-time compute keeps the model smaller and spends extra tokens thinking, searching or verifying at inference. The pitch for the seco…
