One training example via RLVR boosts LLM math reasoning from 17.6% to 35.7% average across six benchmarks.
Proposes MaxPO using a Leave-Two-Out baseline for centered unbiased advantages in max@K policy gradients, with a unified derivation of finite-batch estimators.
Across four frontier reasoning models, 61–93% of correct chain-of-thought steps are redundant, and this over-thinking is provably optimal under any length-agnostic outcome reward.
Budget-matched evaluations and partial-prompt contamination probes show several RLVR reasoning gaps shrink or vanish once budgets, prompts, and dataset versions are controlled.
DARS adaptively increases rollouts on hard problems in RLVR to improve Pass@K, and when paired with batch scaling for breadth, achieves gains in both Pass@K and Pass@1 by treating depth and breadth as complementary exploration dimensions.
