The paper introduces Budget‑Efficient Thinking (BET), a two‑stage framework that treats adaptive reasoning as a computational investment, aligning solve‑or‑fold decisions with expected return rather than perceived difficulty. BET learns three distinct behaviors: concise short solves for easy queries, early abstention (nice fold) when further reasoning is unlikely to pay off, and allocating sufficient compute (hero call) for hard‑but‑solvable questions. Experiments on seven benchmarks with three base models show BET cuts reasoning tokens by 54% while boosting accuracy by up to 3.2%, and it transfers effectively to scientific QA and logical reasoning tasks.

UniPolicy is a unified objective‑specific policy framework for search advertising that jointly optimizes relevance, click propensity, and commercial value. It uses objective‑aware prefix tokens, sparse MoE‑LoRA routing, and residual FFNs to decouple parameters within a shared backbone, and constructs pairwise preferences from multi‑stage behavioral feedback to strengthen clicked candidates. In large‑scale offline tests and a 7‑day online A/B test, UniPolicy improves CTR by 0.71%, RPS by 1.58%, and advertising revenue by 1.32% while keeping serving latency stable.
