Large Language Models Explore by Latent Distilling

arXiv:2604. 24927v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Generating diverse responses is crucial for test-time scaling of large language models (LLMs), yet standard stochastic sampling mostly yields surface-level lexical variation, limiting semantic exploration.
