Understanding Knowledge Distillation in Post-Training: When It Helps and When It Fails
Xin Liu, Simin Ma, Shujian Liu +5
Large language models (LLMs) achieve strong performance across many tasks, but their high computational cost limits deployment in resource-constrained environments. Knowledge Disti…
QUBRIC: Co-Designing Queries and Rubrics for RL Beyond Verifiable Rewards
Rongzhi Zhang, Rui Feng, Zhihan Zhang +8
Rubric-based RL is a promising route for extending reinforcement learning beyond verifiable rewards, yet existing methods optimize rubrics while treating the query distribution as…
HybridThinker: Efficient Chain-of-Thought Reasoning via Compressed Memory and Transient Thought Steps
Xin Liu, Runsong Zhao, Xinyu Liu +8
Extended chain-of-thought (CoT) traces improve LLM reasoning but incur substantial computational and memory costs. While existing CoT compression methods mitigate this by condensin…
DeepSeek-V4: Towards Highly Efficient Million-Token Context Intelligence
DeepSeek-AI, Anyi Xu, Bangcai Lin +315
We present a preview version of DeepSeek-V4 series, including two strong Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) language models -- DeepSeek-V4-Pro with 1.6T parameters (49B activated) and DeepSe…
Think Through Uncertainty: Improving Long-Form Generation Factuality via Reasoning Calibration
Xin Liu, Lu Wang
Large language models (LLMs) often hallucinate in long-form generation. Existing approaches mainly improve factuality through post-hoc revision or reinforcement learning (RL) with…
Autoencoding-Free Context Compression for LLMs via Contextual Semantic Anchors
Xin Liu, Runsong Zhao, Pengcheng Huang +7
Context compression is an advanced technique that accelerates large language model (LLM) inference by converting long inputs into compact representations. Existing methods primaril…
