The Path Not Taken: RLVR Provably Learns Off the Principals

Hanqing Zhu, Zhenyu Zhang, Hanxian Huang +11

Reinforcement Learning with Verifiable Rewards (RLVR) reliably improves the reasoning performance of large language models, yet it appears to modify only a small fraction of parame…

LLMs Can Get "Brain Rot": A Pilot Study on Twitter/X

Shuo Xing, Junyuan Hong, Yifan Wang +5

We propose and test the LLM Brain Rot Hypothesis: continual exposure to junk web text induces lasting cognitive decline in large language models (LLMs). To unveil junk effects, we…

On-the-Fly Adaptive Distillation of Transformer to Dual-State Linear Attention

Yeonju Ro, Zhenyu Zhang, Souvik Kundu +2

Large language models (LLMs) excel at capturing global token dependencies via self-attention but face prohibitive compute and memory costs on lengthy inputs. While sub-quadratic me…

R-Sparse: Rank-Aware Activation Sparsity for Efficient LLM Inference

Zhenyu Zhang, Zechun Liu, Yuandong Tian +3

Large Language Models (LLMs), while demonstrating remarkable capabilities across various applications, present significant challenges during inference due to their substantial mode…

SEAL: Steerable Reasoning Calibration of Large Language Models for Free

Runjin Chen, Zhenyu Zhang, Junyuan Hong +2

Large Language Models (LLMs), such as OpenAI's o1-series have demonstrated compelling capabilities for complex reasoning tasks via the extended chain-of-thought (CoT) reasoning mec…

GradientStabilizer:Fix the Norm, Not the Gradient

Tianjin Huang, Zhangyang Wang, Haotian Hu +10

Training instability in modern deep learning systems is frequently triggered by rare but extreme gradient-norm spikes, which can induce oversized parameter updates, corrupt optimiz…
