newsResearchers have developed TikZilla, a new AI model that generates high-quality scientific figures from text descriptions using TikZ code. The model uses a dataset four times larger than previous versions and combines supervised learning with reinforcement learning to achieve performance matching GPT-5 while using much smaller model sizes.
Researchers introduce Param∆, a novel method for transferring post-training capabilities to updated language models without additional training costs. The technique achieves 95% performance of traditional post-training by computing weight differences between base and post-trained models, offering significant cost savings for AI model development.
Researchers developed a three-stage curriculum learning framework that improves Chain-of-Thought reasoning distillation from large language models to smaller ones. The method enables Qwen2.5-3B-Base to achieve 11.29% accuracy improvement while reducing output length by 27.4% through progressive skill acquisition and Group Relative Policy Optimization.
