arXiv:2510.02919v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) increasingly solve complex reasoning tasks via long chain-of-thought, but their forward-only autoregressive generation process is fragile; early token errors can cascade, which creates a clear need for self-reflection mechanisms. However, existing self-reflection either performs revisions over full drafts or learns self-correction via expensive training, both fundamentally reactive and inefficient. To address this, we propose Self-Reflective Generation at Test Time (SRGen), a lightweight test-time framework that r
The increasing complexity of AI tasks and the fragility of current autoregressive generation models necessitate more robust error correction and self-reflection mechanisms to improve reliability and efficiency.
This development represents a significant step towards more autonomous and reliable AI systems by enabling real-time self-correction, which is critical for complex reasoning tasks and agentic applications.
AI models can now dynamically self-correct during generation, reducing the impact of early errors and potentially leading to more accurate and robust outputs without extensive retraining.
