Learning, Fast and Slow: Towards LLMs That Adapt Continually

Rishabh Tiwari, Kusha Sareen, Lakshya A Agrawal +6

Large language models (LLMs) are trained for downstream tasks by updating their parameters (e.g., via RL). However, updating model parameters forces them to absorb task-specific in…

Shape of Thought: When Distribution Matters More than Correctness in Reasoning Tasks

Abhranil Chandra, Ayush Agrawal, Arian Hosseini +4

We present the surprising finding that a language model's reasoning capabilities can be improved by training on synthetic datasets of chain-of-thought (CoT) traces from more capabl…

The Art of Scaling Reinforcement Learning Compute for LLMs

Devvrit Khatri, Lovish Madaan, Rishabh Tiwari +6

Reinforcement learning (RL) has become central to training large language models (LLMs), yet the field lacks predictive scaling methodologies comparable to those established for pr…

Putting the Value Back in RL: Better Test-Time Scaling by Unifying LLM Reasoners With Verifiers

Kusha Sareen, Morgane M Moss, Alessandro Sordoni +2

Prevalent reinforcement learning~(RL) methods for fine-tuning LLM reasoners, such as GRPO or Leave-one-out PPO, abandon the learned value function in favor of empirically estimated…

Process Reward Models That Think

Muhammad Khalifa, Rishabh Agarwal, Lajanugen Logeswaran +5

Step-by-step verifiers -- also known as process reward models (PRMs) -- are a key ingredient for test-time scaling. PRMs require step-level supervision, making them expensive to tr…

Rewarding Progress: Scaling Automated Process Verifiers for LLM Reasoning

Amrith Setlur, Chirag Nagpal, Adam Fisch +6

A promising approach for improving reasoning in large language models is to use process reward models (PRMs). PRMs provide feedback at each step of a multi-step reasoning trace, po…

Not All LLM Reasoners Are Created Equal

Arian Hosseini, Alessandro Sordoni, Daniel Toyama +2

We study the depth of grade-school math (GSM) problem-solving capabilities of LLMs. To this end, we evaluate their performance on pairs of existing math word problems together so t…

Asynchronous RLHF: Faster and More Efficient Off-Policy RL for Language Models

Michael Noukhovitch, Shengyi Huang, Sophie Xhonneux +3

The dominant paradigm for RLHF is online and on-policy RL: synchronously generating from the large language model (LLM) policy, labelling with a reward model, and learning using fe…

Smaller, Weaker, Yet Better: Training LLM Reasoners via Compute-Optimal Sampling

Hritik Bansal, Arian Hosseini, Rishabh Agarwal +2

Training on high-quality synthetic data from strong language models (LMs) is a common strategy to improve the reasoning performance of LMs. In this work, we revisit whether this st…

Generative Verifiers: Reward Modeling as Next-Token Prediction

Lunjun Zhang, Arian Hosseini, Hritik Bansal +3

Verifiers or reward models are often used to enhance the reasoning performance of large language models (LLMs). A common approach is the Best-of-N method, where N candidate solutio…
