# Test-Time Scaling

The practice of dedicating more computational power at the moment of generating an answer (inference) rather than just during training, allowing the model to 'think longer' for better results.

## Business Value



Enables cheaper models to outperform massive, expensive ones on specific high-logic tasks by simply allowing more processing time.

## Context Studios Perspective



We design 'Reflection Engines' that use test-time scaling to ensure our agents never give a shallow answer to a deep problem.
