Frontier Language Models Struggle to Copy: Text Can Be Better Viewed in 2D

Haodong Wen, Yiran Zhang, Yingfa Chen +1

While large language models (LLMs) can solve advanced reasoning problems in seconds, we show that even frontier models fail to perform a much simpler operation: exactly copying an…

Attention Amnesia in Hybrid LLMs: When CoT Fine-Tuning Breaks Long-Range Recall, and How to Fix It

Xinyu Zhou, Boyu Zhu, Yi Xu +4

Chain-of-thought (CoT) supervised fine-tuning (SFT) is widely adopted to improve reasoning ability, yet we find that it systematically degrades long-context recall in hybrid linear…

Student-in-the-Loop Chain-of-Thought Distillation via Generation-Time Selection

Chaoqun He, Yingfa Chen, Chaojun Xiao +2

Large reasoning models achieve strong performance on complex tasks through long chain-of-thought (CoT) trajectories, but directly transferring such reasoning processes to smaller m…
