Base Models Can Reason By Taking a Cue From Training Data

Sophie L. Wang, Amil Dravid, Rulin Shao +3

In this paper, we study how training data creates associations between the tokens at the start of a base model's response and the reasoning behavior that follows. First, we demonst…

Efficient Test-Time Adaptation through Human-AI Interaction

Zora Zhiruo Wang, Apurva Gandhi, Rulin Shao +22

AI agents are trained on population-scale data to encode broad capabilities spanning those of many practitioners. Yet the artifacts they produce rarely meet the personal bar profes…

DS SERVE: A Framework for Efficient and Scalable Neural Retrieval

Jinjian Liu, Yichuan Wang, Xinxi Lyu +4

We present DS-Serve, a framework that transforms large-scale text datasets, comprising half a trillion tokens, into a high-performance neural retrieval system. DS-Serve offers both…

Olmo 3

Team Olmo, :, Allyson Ettinger +66

We introduce Olmo 3, a family of state-of-the-art, fully-open language models at the 7B and 32B parameter scales. Olmo 3 model construction targets long-context reasoning, function…

Frustratingly Simple Retrieval Improves Challenging, Reasoning-Intensive Benchmarks

Xinxi Lyu, Michael Duan, Rulin Shao +2

Retrieval-augmented Generation (RAG) has primarily been studied in limited settings, such as factoid question answering; more challenging, reasoning-intensive benchmarks have seen…

Spurious Rewards: Rethinking Training Signals in RLVR

Rulin Shao, Shuyue Stella Li, Rui Xin +11

We show that reinforcement learning with verifiable rewards (RLVR) can elicit strong mathematical reasoning in certain language models even with spurious rewards that have little,…

ReasonIR: Training Retrievers for Reasoning Tasks

Rulin Shao, Rui Qiao, Varsha Kishore +8

We present ReasonIR-8B, the first retriever specifically trained for general reasoning tasks. Existing retrievers have shown limited gains on reasoning tasks, in part because exist…

TeleRAG: Efficient Retrieval-Augmented Generation Inference with Lookahead Retrieval

Chien-Yu Lin, Keisuke Kamahori, Yiyu Liu +11

Retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) extends large language models (LLMs) with external data sources to enhance factual correctness and domain coverage. Modern RAG pipelines rely o…

ICONS: Influence Consensus for Vision-Language Data Selection

Xindi Wu, Mengzhou Xia, Rulin Shao +3

Training vision-language models via instruction tuning relies on large data mixtures spanning diverse tasks and domains, yet these mixtures frequently include redundant information…

Improving Factuality with Explicit Working Memory

Mingda Chen, Yang Li, Karthik Padthe +5

Large language models can generate factually inaccurate content, a problem known as hallucination. Recent works have built upon retrieved-augmented generation to improve factuality…

OpenScholar: Synthesizing Scientific Literature with Retrieval-augmented LMs

Akari Asai, Jacqueline He, Rulin Shao +22

Scientific progress depends on researchers' ability to synthesize the growing body of literature. Can large language models (LMs) assist scientists in this task? We introduce OpenS…

Scaling Retrieval-Based Language Models with a Trillion-Token Datastore

Rulin Shao, Jacqueline He, Akari Asai +5

Scaling laws with respect to the amount of training data and the number of parameters allow us to predict the cost-benefit trade-offs of pretraining language models (LMs) in differ…

DataComp-LM: In search of the next generation of training sets for language models

Jeffrey Li, Alex Fang, Georgios Smyrnis +56

We introduce DataComp for Language Models (DCLM), a testbed for controlled dataset experiments with the goal of improving language models. As part of DCLM, we provide a standardize…

Language models scale reliably with over-training and on downstream tasks

Samir Yitzhak Gadre, Georgios Smyrnis, Vaishaal Shankar +22

Scaling laws are useful guides for derisking expensive training runs, as they predict performance of large models using cheaper, small-scale experiments. However, there remain gaps…
