LaneRoPE: Positional Encoding for Collaborative Parallel Reasoning and Generation
Parallel LLM test-time scaling techniques (e.g., best-of-$N$) require drawing $N>1$ sequences conditioned on the same input prompt. These methods boost accuracy while exploiting the computational efficiency of batching $N$ generations. However, each sequence in the batch is traditionally generated independently and hence does not reuse intermediate generations, computations, or observations from other sequences. In this paper, we propose LaneRoPE to enable coordination and collaboration among $N>1$ sequences at generation time. LaneRoPE involves two key ideas: (a) an inter-sequence attention mask to make sampling of sequences dependent on one another; and (b) a RoPE extension that injects...
