Supervised fine-tuning (SFT) on a small, high-quality set of long reasoning traces is an effective approach for eliciting strong reasoning capabilities in Large Language Models (LLMs). However, existing methods for curating high-quality SFT data rely heavily on strong reasoning models to filter examples based on diversity and difficulty, making the curation process costly while often yielding suboptimal data quality.

arXiv:2607. 19678v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: AI-generated answers in high-stakes domains are often fluent but difficult to verify, especially when they contain multi-step reasoning rather than a single final answer.

arXiv:2606. 29481v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: While reinforcement learning (RL) significantly enhances LLM reasoning, its efficacy is severely undermined by Pre-RL data overlap, where RL datasets overlap with pretraining or SFT corpora, causing models to exploit shortcuts by memorizing correct answers and fabricating post-hoc reasoning.
