Invariant Gradient Alignment for Robust Reasoning Distillation

Researchers introduce Invariant Gradient Alignment (IGA), a training framework that improves how large language models generalize to out-of-distribution inputs by aligning gradient updates across semantically diverse but logically equivalent problems. The method achieves up to 14.3 percentage point accuracy improvements over standard approaches and demonstrates a fourfold improvement in logical consistency, addressing a fundamental limitation in knowledge distillation pipelines.

TAPIOCA: Why Task- Aware Pruning Improves OOD model Capability

Researchers demonstrate that task-aware layer pruning improves model performance on out-of-distribution (OOD) data while providing no benefits for in-distribution data. The improvement occurs because pruning removes layers that distort the task-adapted geometric representation, realigning OOD inputs with the model's learned task geometry.
