SuperWriter: Reflection-Driven Long-Form Generation with Large Language
  Models
Long-form text generation remains a significant challenge for large language
models (LLMs), particularly in maintaining coherence, ensuring logical
consistency, and preserving text quality as sequence length increases. To
address these limitations, we propose SuperWriter-Agent, an agent-based
framework designed to enhance the quality and consistency of long-form text
generation. SuperWriter-Agent introduces explicit structured thinking-through
planning and refinement stages into the generation pipeline, guiding the model
to follow a more deliberate and cognitively grounded process akin to that of a
professional writer. Based on this framework, we construct a supervised
fine-tuning dataset to train a 7B SuperWriter-LM. We further develop a
hierarchical Direct Preference Optimization (DPO) procedure that uses Monte
Carlo Tree Search (MCTS) to propagate final quality assessments and optimize
each generation step accordingly. Empirical results across diverse benchmarks
demonstrate that SuperWriter-LM achieves state-of-the-art performance,
surpassing even larger-scale baseline models in both automatic evaluation and
human evaluation. Furthermore, comprehensive ablation studies demonstrate the
effectiveness of hierarchical DPO and underscore the value of incorporating
structured thinking steps to improve the quality of long-form text generation.

SuperWriter-Agent enhances long-form text generation by integrating structured planning and refinement, achieving top performance with a 7B model and hierarchical Direct Preference Optimization.
