arXiv:2606.00431v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We prove a variance-sensitive regret bound for Thompson sampling in stochastic generalised linear bandits. The argument assumes a warm-up, after which the regret is controlled through using the Gaussian Poincar\'e inequality. This bypasses the point at which previous optimism-based analyses break down. Removing the warm-up while retaining the same variance-sensitive scaling remains open, and appears nontrivial.
