arXiv:2606. 17735v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Although reinforcement learning (RL) has expanded the cognitive boundaries of large language models (LLMs), it often remains vulnerable to the autoregressive curse in long-horizon logical reasoning: small epistemic perturbations introduced early in generation can propagate irreversibly along the Markov decision process flow, triggering cascading failures that drive the reasoning trajectory toward collapse.

arXiv:2608. 06243v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Reinforcement learning with verifiable rewards (RLVR) improves the reasoning capabilities of large language models using automatically verifiable outcome signals, but these signals are typically sparse and at the sequence-level.
The paper investigates why reinforcement learning with verifiable rewards (RLVR) reduces the diversity of solutions in reasoning tasks. By analyzing the Countdown task, the authors show that RLVR contracts the solution space mainly at the entrance—before the first arithmetic operation—causing a 67% drop in solution coverage. They demonstrate that providing an unselected entrance prefix or applying entrance‑targeted interventions can restore or even improve coverage without harming accuracy.
