arXiv:2605.30337v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Test-time finetuning (TTFT) is a rapidly evolving paradigm that adapts a language model to each prompt by retrieving related sequences, updating the model on them, and then evaluating the prompt. However, TTFT is only practical if it is fast: selection and finetuning both happen per query, making each a direct bottleneck. Existing methods trade speed for quality: fast retrieval is often redundant, while stronger diversity-aware selection adds prohibitive per-query cost. We introduce HullFT, a geometric approach to TTFT that addresses both bottlen
The rapid development and widespread adoption of large language models are driving a need for more efficient and adaptable finetuning techniques to expand their practical applications.
Improving the efficiency of test-time finetuning directly enhances the real-time adaptability and performance of LLMs for individual queries, reducing computational overhead and latency.
This research introduces a geometric approach that aims to overcome key bottlenecks in test-time finetuning, making real-time model adaptation more practical and scalable.
