Publications
-
2026.04 The Path of Least Resistance: Guiding LLM Reasoning Trajectories with Prefix Consensus
The Fourteenth International Conference on Learning Representations (ICLR 2026)
In this work, we propose a training-free drop-in replacement for Self-Consistency decoding that exploits early prefix consensus among LLM reasoning traces, resulting in a reduction in token usage up to 60% while maintaining accuracy.
