What Makes Recurrence Effective in Looped Language Models?

Looped language models (LoopLMs) increase computational depth through parameter sharing, offering a path to scale inference computation without adding parameters. However, it remains unclear when additional recurrence is beneficial and how architectural choices affect its effectiveness. Through controlled experiments,...

RL Starts before RL: On Policy Distillation for Better Reinforcement Learning

Reinforcement learning (RL) improves reasoning, but its performance depends on the policy from which training begins. We study on-policy distillation (OPD) as a preparation stage for RL and ask whether its benefits extend beyond improvements in the distilled model's initial accuracy. Under shared RL settings, students...

RAP: Research Attention Prediction Reveals Target-Conditioned Evidence Acquisition Biases

Large language models (LLMs) increasingly act as research agents, yet their ability to track shifts in research attention is difficult to evaluate because reviews and research ideas lack uniquely verifiable outcomes. We introduce Research Attention Prediction (RAP), a rolling benchmark covering 278 AI/ML fields and 1,3...
