Finding the Evidence: Discovering Decision-Supporting Tokens for On-Policy Reasoning Distillation

Researchers introduce DEAR, a novel on-policy distillation method that improves AI model training by distinguishing between decision tokens (where models branch) and evidence tokens (supporting intermediate steps). The technique achieves significant performance gains of up to 5.7% on code generation and 2.5% on math benchmarks compared to standard distillation approaches.

Speculative Thinking: Enhancing Small-Model Reasoning with Large Model Guidance at Inference Time

Researchers introduce Speculative Thinking, a training-free framework that leverages larger AI models to guide smaller ones during inference, improving reasoning accuracy while reducing output length. The method achieves a 6.2% accuracy boost on mathematical reasoning tasks for a 1.5B parameter model with 15.7% shorter outputs, demonstrating efficiency gains without costly retraining.

Adaptive Negative Reinforcement for LLM Reasoning:Dynamically Balancing Correction and Diversity in RLVR

Researchers propose Adaptive Negative Sample Reinforcement (A-NSR) and Confidence-Weighted Negative Reinforcement (CW-NSR) to improve LLM reasoning by dynamically adjusting penalty weights during training rather than applying fixed penalties. The methods are evaluated on challenging math datasets using Qwen2.5-Math-1.5B, demonstrating that intelligent error correction can match or exceed complex frameworks like PPO.

Hard or Just Unreached? Diagnosing the Sampling Blind Spot in Math-Reasoning Difficulty Estimation

Researchers identify a critical blind spot in pass@k, the standard metric for evaluating math reasoning difficulty in large language models. Their analysis reveals that 10-23% of problems marked as unsolvable through sampling can actually be solved using deterministic inference with activation grafting perturbations, suggesting current difficulty assessments systematically underestimate model capabilities.

Architecture-Aware Reinforcement Learning Makes Sliding-Window Attention Competitive in Math Reasoning

Researchers present SWARR, a two-stage method combining supervised fine-tuning and reinforcement learning to make sliding-window attention (SWA) competitive with standard self-attention for mathematical reasoning tasks. By using RL to adapt model trajectories to SWA's architectural constraints, the approach recovers much of the accuracy lost during conversion while maintaining linear-complexity efficiency benefits.

Optimal Bayesian Stopping for Efficient Inference of Consistent LLM Answers

Researchers propose a Bayesian stopping strategy that reduces LLM inference costs by up to 50% while maintaining answer accuracy. The method samples multiple LLM responses and stops once sufficient consistency is detected, using an efficient L-aggregated policy that tracks only the top 3 answer frequencies and achieves theoretical optimality.

IRDS: Interpretable RLVR Data Selection via Verifier-Coupled Sparse Autoencoder Coverage

IRDS introduces a new data selection method for reinforcement learning with verifiable rewards (RLVR) that uses sparse autoencoders to identify interpretable, high-value training instances. The approach achieves significant accuracy improvements on math reasoning benchmarks while reducing computational costs by an order of magnitude compared to existing methods.
