 **Policy of Thoughts (PoT)** is a test-time reasoning framework that recasts LLM inference as a within-instance online policy optimization process. Introduced by Jiao et al. (2026), PoT draws on Karl Popper's epistemology of "conjectures and refutations" to argue that genuine reasoning requires real-time evolution of the model's policy through learning from failed attempts, rather than treating execution feedback as a passive external signal. **Policy of Thoughts (PoT)** is a test-time reasoning framework that recasts LLM inference as a within-instance online policy optimization process.
