The paper investigates how the diversity of solutions produced by large language models (LLMs) for a single problem correlates with their problem‑solving performance. It finds that higher solution divergence is linked to better outcomes across various models and proposes using this metric to enhance supervised fine‑tuning and reinforcement learning. Experiments on three problem domains show that incorporating solution divergence consistently raises success rates, indicating its potential as a simple yet effective tool for LLM training and evaluation.

Achieving strong optimization generalization across diverse optimization problems while requiring limited training resources remains a challenging problem for optimization-oriented large language models (LLMs). Existing approaches typically rely on large-scale supervised datasets, costly reasoning annotations, and expensive intermediate step verification, resulting in substantial training overhead.

The paper introduces a method to enhance large language model (LLM) exploration in Reinforcement Learning with Verifiable Rewards (RLVR) by guiding the target model with partial reasoning trajectories from smaller, weaker language models. This weak-model guidance disrupts over‑confidence, preserves generative diversity, and mitigates entropy collapse without extra fine‑tuning or complex reward designs. Experiments on mathematical benchmarks show consistent improvements over vanilla RLVR, especially as the number of allowed attempts ($k$) increases, indicating broader reasoning coverage.
The paper explores using reinforcement learning to enhance automatic text simplification for low‑resource languages, focusing on Catalan. It introduces a new reward function that blends the SARI metric with penalty terms, and applies Group Relative Policy Optimization (GRPO) to fine‑tune the IberianLLM‑7B‑Instruct model on the ASSET dataset. Post‑training, the model shows improved simplification performance on two Catalan benchmarks and reduces prior negative behaviors, though cross‑lingual transfer from English, Spanish, and Catalan translations of ASSET does not yield significant gains on an out‑of‑domain benchmark.
