Does RL Expand the Capability Boundary of LLM Agents? A PASS@(k,T) Analysis
Zhiyuan Zhai, Wenjing Yan, Xiaodan Shao +1
Does reinforcement learning genuinely expand what LLM agents can do, or merely make them more reliable? For static reasoning, recent work answers the second: base and RL pass@k cur…
Adaptive Test-Time Compute Allocation for Reasoning LLMs via Constrained Policy Optimization
Zhiyuan Zhai, Bingcong Li, Bingnan Xiao +2
Test-time compute scaling, the practice of spending extra computation during inference via repeated sampling, search, or extended reasoning, has become a powerful lever for improvi…
HiFloat4 Format for Language Model Pre-training on Ascend NPUs
Mehran Taghian, Yunke Peng, Xing Huang +22
Large foundation models have become central to modern machine learning, with performance scaling predictably with model size and data. However, training and deploying such models i…
StagFormer: Time Staggering Transformer Decoding for RunningLayers In Parallel
Dylan Cutler, Arun Kandoor, Nishanth Dikkala +3
Decoding in a Transformer based language model is inherently sequential as a token's embedding needs to pass through all the layers in the network before the generation of the next…
