K2-V2: A 360-Open, Reasoning-Enhanced LLM

Read the original on arXiv Machine Learning →

K2-V2 is a fully open, 360‑open large language model built from scratch, designed to serve as a superior base for reasoning adaptation while also supporting conversation and knowledge retrieval. It competes with leading open‑weight models in its size class, outperforming Qwen2.5‑72B and approaching Qwen3‑235B, and incorporates domain knowledge, reasoning, long‑context handling, and tool use throughout training. The authors release the complete training history, data composition, model weights, and LLM360 artifacts to enable community use and continuous training.

InternBootcamp: Boosting LLM Reasoning with Verifiable Task Scaling

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.

Enrich-on-Graph: Query-Graph Alignment for Complex Reasoning with LLM Enriching

Enrich-on-Graph (EoG) is a flexible framework that uses large language models to enrich knowledge graphs, thereby bridging the semantic gap between structured graphs and unstructured queries in complex reasoning tasks. By leveraging LLMs’ prior knowledge, EoG enables efficient evidence extraction from knowledge graphs, achieving precise and robust reasoning while maintaining low computational costs and scalability. The authors also introduce three graph quality evaluation metrics for query‑graph alignment, theoretically validate their optimization objectives, and demonstrate state‑of‑the‑art performance on two KGQA benchmark datasets.
