NExt accelerates RLVR training for LLMs by nonlinearly extrapolating low-rank parameter trajectories extracted from LoRA runs.
FADE is a self-adapting advantage for policy-gradient RL that reads training dynamics to balance positive/negative gradient mass and difficulty focus, yielding faster peak performance and better accuracy-diversity trade-offs than static baselines on LLM reasoning benchmarks.
OPD weight updates are small, coordinate-sparse, spectrally concentrated, and off-principal, and training only the sparse support nearly reproduces full OPD performance.
Reasoning gaps between base LLMs and LRMs concentrate on ~8% of early planning tokens; intervening with the reasoning model only at high-disagreement positions recovers performance.
LLMs exhibit Bayesian-like hypothesis updating with strong-sampling bias and an evaluation-generation gap but generalize poorly outside observed data.
On-policy distillation gains efficiency from early foresight in module allocation and update directions, which the proposed EffOPD method exploits for 3x faster training with comparable performance.
RLVR exhibits implicit reward overfitting to training data and optimizes heavy-tailed singular spectra with rank-1 focus on reasoning capability.
