It samples many candidate answers and keeps the one a reward model rates highest. It can rival post-training methods such as RLHF or DPO, but competitive N values run into the thousands, which would need many accelerators. The authors observe that reward… ## Co-authors here 6 co-authors with a page, the most papers together first. - [Andrea Zanette](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/andrea-zanette/) - [Jiahao Qiu](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/jiahao-qiu/) - [Mengdi Wang](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/mengdi-wang/) - [Ming Yin](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/ming-yin/) - [Peter L.
