As large language models (LLMs) increasingly tackle complex reasoning tasks, test-time scaling has become critical for enhancing capabilities. However, in agentic scenarios with frequent tool calls, the traditional generation-length-based definition breaks down: tool latency decouples inference t...

Acquiring high-quality instruction-code pairs is essential for training Large Language Models for code generation. While automated synthesis has emerged as an alternative to expensive manual curation, current approaches often rely on rigid heuristics, yielding data that is ungrounded or lacks log...

Reliable verifiable data has become a key driver of capability gains in modern language models, enabling stable reinforcement learning with verifiable rewards and effective distillation that transfers competence across math, coding, and agentic tasks. Yet constructing generalizable synthetic veri...

Reasoning is an important task for large language models (LLMs). Among all the reasoning paradigms, inductive reasoning is one of the basic types, which is characterized by its particular-to-general thinking process and the non-uniqueness of its answers. The inductive mode is crucial for knowledg...

Long chain-of-thought (CoT) trajectories provide rich supervision signals for distilling reasoning from teacher to student LLMs. However, both prior work and our experiments show that trajectories from stronger teachers do not necessarily yield better students, highlighting the importance of data...

High-quality scientific data is critical for advancing LLMs, yet academic literature remains largely underutilized. This work addresses the fundamental question: How can we systematically unlock scientific data’s value for pre-training? First, we construct a large-scale raw scientific corpus but...

Test-time scaling has emerged as a transformative paradigm for enhancing the performance of large reasoning models, enabling dynamic allocation of computational resources during inference. However, as the landscape of reasoning models rapidly expands, a critical question remains: how can we syste...

Reinforcement Learning with Verifiable Rewards (RLVR) significantly enhances the reasoning capabilities of Large Language Models. When applied to RLVR, Multiple-Choice Questions (MCQs) offer a scalable source of verifiable data but risk inducing reward hacking, where models shortcut reasoning via...

Autoregressive (AR) language modeling remains the dominant paradigm due to its dense supervision signal and highly optimized serving infrastructure, but its strictly causal, token-by-token decoding limits parallelism and non-causal modeling. While masked diffusion offers a promising path toward p...

Recent progress in large language models (LLMs) has boosted mathematical reasoning, yet geometry remains challenging where auxiliary construction is often essential. Prior methods either underperform or depend on very large models (e.g., GPT-4o), making them costly. We argue that reinforcement le...

Optimal configuration of the learning rate (LR) is a fundamental yet formidable challenge in large-scale pre-training. Given the stringent trade-off between training costs and model performance, the pivotal question is whether the optimal LR can be accurately extrapolated from low-cost experiment...
