Recent advances in Large Language Models (LLMs) have enabled strong performance in long-form writing, but current training paradigms remain limited: Supervised Fine-Tuning (SFT) remains constrained by data saturation and performance ceilings, while Reinforcement Learning with Verifiable Reward (R...

Video temporal understanding is crucial for multimodal large language models (MLLMs) to reason over events in videos. Despite recent advances in general video understanding, current MLLMs still struggle with fine-grained temporal reasoning. While reinforcement learning (RL) has been explored to a...

Reinforcement Learning with Verifiable Rewards (RLVR) has proven effective in enhancing LLMs’ short-context reasoning but falters in long-context scenarios requiring precise grounding and multi-hop reasoning. We identify the “almost-there” phenomenon—trajectories that are largely correct but fail...
