ReFIne is a training framework that augments large reasoning models with three trustworthiness properties: interpretability, faithfulness, and reliability. It combines supervised fine‑tuning with GRPO to produce structured, tag‑based reasoning traces, explicitly disclose decisive information, and provide self‑assessments of soundness and confidence. Applied to Qwen3 models, ReFIne improves interpretability by 44.0 %, faithfulness by 18.8 %, and reliability by 42.4 % on mathematical benchmarks.

The paper examines three recent studies that highlight distinct reliability issues in large language models (LLMs). Each study points to a missing capability—whether a tool‑reliability representation, safe generation behavior, or a consistent‑reasoning function—yet all converge on the need for calibrated abstention. The authors argue that current benchmarks fail to reward abstention, preventing the development of this function, and propose four evaluation changes to address the gap.
