DeepSeek vs MCTS: Decoding the ‘Chicken & Liquor’ Dilemma in LLM Training
The article analyzes why DeepSeek’s large‑model training struggles with Monte‑Carlo Tree Search, explains its use of Chain‑of‑Thought prompting, GRPO entropy‑boosting and rejection‑sampling fine‑tuning, compares these methods with Google’s OmegaPRM and PRM approaches, and proposes a concrete MCTS‑driven data‑generation pipeline to overcome the “chicken and liquor” trade‑off.
