Reinforcement-aware Knowledge Distillation for LLM Reasoning

Zhaoyang Zhang, Shuli Jiang, Yantao Shen +6

Reinforcement learning (RL) post-training has recently driven major gains in long chain-of-thought reasoning large language models (LLMs), but the high inference cost of such model…

SAGE-32B: Agentic Reasoning via Iterative Distillation

Basab Jha, Firoj Paudel, Ujjwal Puri +6

We demonstrate SAGE-32B, a 32 billion parameter language model that focuses on agentic reasoning and long range planning tasks. Unlike chat models that aim for general conversation…

Thinking About Thinking: SAGE-nano's Inverse Reasoning for Self-Aware Language Models

Basab Jha, Firoj Paudel, Ujjwal Puri +3

Large Language Models (LLMs) have demonstrated remarkable capabilities at solving complex reasoning tasks with Chain-of-Thought (CoT) prompting, but their decision-making processes…
