We propose to improve in-context learning (ICL) by optimizing the continuous embeddings of a fixed few-shot prompt at test time. The key observation is that the log-probabilities a model assigns to its demonstrated outputs$\unicode{x2013}$available from a single forward pass without generating any tokens$\unicode{x2013}$provide a meaningful signal for how well the model has inferred the task from its demonstrations. We formalize this signal as a bounded, self-supervised confidence proxy and maximize it via zeroth-order optimization over the prompt embeddings, yielding a test-time calibration procedure. The approach requires no finetuning, no token generation, no predefined label set, and no external data, making it equally applicable to both classification and free-form generation tasks. Across a comprehensive suite of ICL tasks, the proposed calibration consistently matches or improves upon the base model and outperforms classification-specific baselines on most tasks. The statistically significant correlation between proxy improvement and downstream accuracy gain confirms that the proposed proxy encodes a reliable optimization signal for in-context learning.
