Test-time compute (TTC) scaling has emerged as a powerful paradigm for improving large language model (LLM) reasoning by allocating additional compute during inference, e.g., via multi-sample generation and verifier-based reranking. Existing TTC scaling strategies and reasoning scorers remain fragmented, evaluated under inconsistent protocols, and are rarely analyzed through the lens of quality-cost trade-offs. We introduce ThinkBooster, a unified framework for seamless test-time compute scaling of LLM reasoning, which consists of (i) a modular Python library implementing state-of-the-art TTC scaling strategy and scorer families, (ii) a benchmark that jointly evaluates performance and computational efficiency, and (iii) a deployable OpenAI-compatible proxy service that enables drop-in integration of adaptive reasoning into real-world applications. We further provide a demo visual debugger for inspecting the reasoning trajectories, intermediate selection decisions, and alternative reasoning paths. Empirical results on mathematical and coding tasks reveal the performance-compute trade-offs of TTC scaling strategies and scoring methods and demonstrate that ThinkBooster provides practical gains in real-world tasks. The code is available online under an MIT license.

The task of persuasion techniques detection is limited by several challenges, such as insufficient training data and ambiguity in labels. In this paper, we describe a solution for the Slavic NLP 2025 Shared Task. It utilizes multilingual XLM-RoBERTa, that was trained on 100 various languages, and Slavic BERT, a model fine-tuned on four languages of the Slavic group. We suggest to augment the training dataset with related data from previous shared tasks, as well as some automatic translations from English and German. The resulting solutions are ranked among the top 3 for Russian in the Subtask 1 and for all languages in the Subtask 2. We release the code for our solution - https://github.com/ssenichev/ACL_SlavicNLP2025.
