Thanks for bringing this up! Good catch on the similarities! Yes, both use entropy/uncertainty to allocate compute intelligently.
From what I understand, Entropix is an entropy-aware decoder - it monitors token entropy during generation and dynamically adjusts sampling or spawns parallel CoT branches at high-uncertainty points. It's a decoding-time intervention.
My approach doesn't touch decoding at all. I:
1. Generate normally (standard sampling)
2. Capture logprobs + top-k alternatives
3. Check if perplexity/entropy/confidence triggers exceed thresholds
4. If yes, do ONE refinement pass with an "uncertainty report" showing the model exactly which tokens were uncertain + their alternatives + context
The key difference: Entropix steers the ship while sailing; my loop reviews the voyage log and decides whether to make one correction pass. No branching, no custom samplers, deterministic cost (0 or 1 extra pass).
They're actually complementary - you could use Entropix entropy-aware sampling for initial generation and still apply a refinement loop afterward. Same underlying signal (entropy), different control points! The result of combining both should be outstanding! I will test it soon.
