Rotation-Preserving Supervised Fine-Tuning

cs.LG · 2026-05-08 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

RPSFT improves the in-domain versus out-of-domain performance trade-off during LLM supervised fine-tuning by penalizing rotations in pretrained singular subspaces as a proxy for loss-sensitive directions.

ZAYA1-8B Technical Report

cs.AI · 2026-05-06 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

ZAYA1-8B is a reasoning MoE model with 700M active parameters that matches larger models on math and coding benchmarks and reaches 91.9% on AIME'25 via Markovian RSA test-time compute.

Hybrid Policy Distillation for LLMs

cs.CL · 2026-04-22 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

Hybrid Policy Distillation unifies existing knowledge distillation methods for LLMs into a reweighted log-likelihood objective and introduces a hybrid forward-reverse KL approach with mixed data sampling to improve stability, efficiency, and performance.

Thinking Sparks!: Emergent Attention Heads in Reasoning Models During Post Training

cs.AI · 2025-09-30 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

Post-training on reasoning tasks sparks the emergence of specialized attention heads that enable structured computation, with SFT adding stable heads while GRPO uses dynamic activation and pruning tied to reward signals, and controllable think models relying on compensatory heads instead of specific
