ProofRank benchmark shows substantial differences in LLM proof quality not captured by correctness, with trade-offs between quality metrics and accuracy.
OPHSD uses harness-augmented models as teachers to distill reasoning capabilities into base LLMs, yielding strong standalone performance on classification and math tasks.
The cancellation hypothesis shows how rollout-level rewards produce token-level credit assignment in critic-free RL through cancellation of opposing signals on shared tokens, with empirical support and batching interventions that enhance performance.
Self-play between LLMs for problem authoring and solving, scored via Rasch modeling, shows that authoring and solving skills are partially decoupled and that the benchmark difficulty evolves with new models.
DFlare replaces DFlash's shared fused representation with per-draft-layer attention to distinct target-layer combinations, enabling deeper drafts and 2.4M training samples for 5-11% higher speedups than DFlash on Qwen3 and GPT-OSS models.
Proposes equivariant optimizer updates matched to layer symmetries for embeddings, SwiGLU MLPs, and MoE routers, with reported gains in validation loss and training stability on several language model architectures.
PrfaaS enables practical cross-datacenter prefill-decode disaggregation for hybrid-attention models via selective offloading, bandwidth-aware scheduling, and cache-aware placement, yielding 54% higher throughput and 64% lower P90 TTFT than homogeneous baselines in a 1T-parameter case study.
Attention Editing converts pre-trained LLMs to new attention architectures through layer-wise teacher-forced optimization and model-level distillation, preserving performance with efficiency gains.
CODA uses rollout-based difficulty signals to drive two gates that penalize verbosity on easy instances and promote deliberation on hard ones, cutting token use over 60% on simple tasks while maintaining accuracy.
