Composition-RL: Compose Your Verifiable Prompts for Reinforcement Learning of Large Language Models

Xin Xu, Clive Bai, Kai Yang +7

Large-scale verifiable prompts underpin the success of Reinforcement Learning with Verifiable Rewards (RLVR), but they contain many uninformative examples and are costly to expand…

Double-Checker: Enhancing Reasoning of Slow-Thinking LLMs via Self-Critical Fine-Tuning

Xin Xu, Tianhao Chen, Fan Zhang +11

While slow-thinking large language models (LLMs) exhibit reflection-like reasoning, commonly referred to as the "aha moment:, their ability to generate informative critiques and re…

GPAS: Accelerating Convergence of LLM Pretraining via Gradient-Preserving Activation Scaling

Tianhao Chen, Xin Xu, Zijing Liu +12

Modern Large Language Models, such as the LLaMA, Qwen and DeepSeek series, predominantly adopt the Pre-LayerNorm (Pre-LN) Transformer architecture. While being stable during pretra…
