IsoCompute Playbook: Optimally Scaling Sampling Compute for LLM RL
Zhoujun Cheng, Yutao Xie, Yuxiao Qu +12
While scaling laws guide compute allocation for LLM pre-training, analogous prescriptions for reinforcement learning (RL) post-training of large language models (LLMs) remain poorl…
TIPS: Turn-Level Information-Potential Reward Shaping for Search-Augmented LLMs
Yutao Xie, Nathaniel Thomas, Nicklas Hansen +3
Search-augmented large language models (LLMs) trained with reinforcement learning (RL) have achieved strong results on open-domain question answering (QA), but training still remai…
K2-Think: A Parameter-Efficient Reasoning System
Zhoujun Cheng, Richard Fan, Shibo Hao +28
K2-Think is a reasoning system that achieves state-of-the-art performance with a 32B parameter model, matching or surpassing much larger models like GPT-OSS 120B and DeepSeek v3.1.…
Revisiting Reinforcement Learning for LLM Reasoning from A Cross-Domain Perspective
Zhoujun Cheng, Shibo Hao, Tianyang Liu +21
Reinforcement learning (RL) has emerged as a promising approach to improve large language model (LLM) reasoning, yet most open efforts focus narrowly on math and code, limiting our…
