GRIP (Granular Reward-guided Interpolation of Parameters) is a lightweight framework that blends a reasoning-oriented large language model with an instruction-tuned model by assigning learnable interpolation ratios to individual modules. The ratios are optimized while keeping both source models frozen, using a reward signal that prefers correct and concise responses. Experiments demonstrate that GRIP improves the accuracy-efficiency trade-off compared to fixed or search-based merging baselines and uncover module-wise fusion patterns linked to efficient reasoning.
arXiv:2602. 08324v5 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Chain-of-Thought (CoT) reasoning successfully enhances the reasoning capabilities of Large Language Models (LLMs), yet it incurs substantial computational overhead for inference.
InternBootcamp is an open‑source framework that offers over 1,000 domain‑diverse task environments for large language model (LLM) reasoning research. It introduces Bootcamp‑Eval, an automatically generated benchmark for comprehensive performance assessment. Experiments show that training on InternBootcamp significantly improves reasoning performance, with a 32B model achieving state‑of‑the‑art results on Bootcamp‑Eval and other established benchmarks, demonstrating that scaling the number of training tasks yields consistent gains.

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.

Language model reasoning can be substantially improved at test time via scaffolds that scale inference compute across different primitives -- sequential reasoning within a trace, independently sampled parallel traces, and aggregation of multiple reasoning traces into a final response. During post-training, however, language models are optimized only for sequential reasoning within a single trace.
arXiv:2512. 07843v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Scaling inference-time computation has enabled Large Language Models (LLMs) to achieve strong reasoning performance, but their inherently sequential decoding incurs substantial latency, motivating parallelization of the generation process.
The paper introduces Echo-GRPO, a method that rewrites privileged reasoning traces into a model’s own idiolect to align off‑policy supervision with the student policy’s vocabulary. By preserving semantics through Dual‑Reference Decoding, Echo‑GRPO mitigates gradient clipping on critical reasoning tokens and improves reasoning distillation. The approach is instantiated as VideoEcho‑R1 for video reasoning, yielding consistent gains across multiple multimodal LLM backbones and benchmarks, and it can be applied as a plug‑in to both RL and supervised fine‑tuning frameworks.

The paper surveys efficient reasoning in large language models, contrasting fast intuitive (System 1) and slow deep (System 2) reasoning. It analyzes why System 2 is computationally costly yet more accurate, and why System 1 is efficient but less effective. The survey covers causes of inefficiency, patterns of reasoning behavior, and potential solutions to balance performance and computational budgets, offering actionable insights and an open‑source repository for ongoing research.
