The Illusion of Stochasticity in LLMs
Xiangming Gu, Soham De, Michalis Titsias +3
In this work, we demonstrate that reliable stochastic sampling is a fundamental yet unfulfilled requirement for Large Language Models (LLMs) operating as agents. Agentic systems ar…

Understanding Performance Gap Between Parallel and Sequential Sampling in Large Reasoning Models
Xiangming Gu, Soham De, Larisa Markeeva +2
Large Reasoning Models (LRMs) have shown remarkable performance on challenging questions, such as math and coding. However, to obtain a high quality solution, one may need to sampl…

How do language models learn facts? Dynamics, curricula and hallucinations
Nicolas Zucchet, Jörg Bornschein, Stephanie Chan +3
Large language models accumulate vast knowledge during pre-training, yet the dynamics governing this acquisition remain poorly understood. This work investigates the learning dynam…
