Test-Time Scaling with Reflective Generative Model

We introduce a new Reflective Generative Model (RGM), which obtains OpenAI o3-mini's performance via a novel Reflective Generative Form. This form focuses on high-quality reasoning trajectory selection and contains two novelties: 1) A unified interface for policy and process reward model: we share the backbone network and use task-specific heads for reasoning trajectory predicting and scoring respectively, introducing only 50M extra parameters for trajectory scoring. 2) Eliminating the reliance on process-level annotation: we provide a self-supervised process reward model (SPRM), which can directly learn the high-quality reasoning trajectory selection from the outcome reward. Equipped with the reflective generative form, RGM is naturally suitable for test-time scaling based on the controllable thinking length. Experiments show that our RGM, equipped with only 50M additional parameters in SPRM, outperforms policy models with 72B extra reward models, thereby enabling QwQ-32B to outperform OpenAI o3-mini on AIME24 (84.2 vs. 79.6) and HMMT25 (53.1 vs. 53.0). Code will be available.
