The recent publication on inference-time alignment discusses its capability to effectively guide large language models (LLMs). This process involves generating multiple candidates from a reference model.

Selection among these candidates is performed using an imperfect reward model, which raises questions about the reliability of the outcomes produced.

The balance between optimism and pessimism in AI inference is a critical consideration, as it impacts the overall effectiveness and robustness of LLM deployments.
