Trust, but verify
Key Results
- • Experimental results confirmed that different LLMs produce distinguishable outputs.
- • Statistical analysis showed significant differences in response patterns between models and knowledge bases.
- • The proposed AVS design allows for effective monitoring and validation of Gaia nodes.
Key Insights
- • Decentralized AI networks like Gaia enable customized LLMs on personal computers.
- • Social consensus among nodes can detect unauthorized or incorrect LLMs.
- • Intersubjective validation with financial incentives can promote honest behavior.
Does Reinforcement Learning Really Incentivize Reasoning Capacity in LLMs Beyond the Base Model?
Key Results
- • RL-trained models perform worse than base models at large k values, indicating a narrower reasoning capability boundary.
- • The efficiency gain from RL training comes at the cost of reduced exploration capacity, limiting the coverage of solvable problems.
- • Distillation is shown to genuinely expand the reasoning boundary, unlike RLVR, which remains bounded by the base model's capabilities.
Key Insights
- • Reinforcement Learning with Verifiable Rewards (RLVR) does not elicit fundamentally new reasoning patterns in LLMs.
- • RLVR improves sampling efficiency but reduces the overall reasoning capacity of models.
- • Distillation introduces new knowledge and expands reasoning capabilities beyond those of base models.
PerceptionLM: Open-Access Data and Models for Detailed Visual Understanding
Key Results
- • PLM achieves competitive performance across 40 image and video benchmarks, comparable to state-of-the-art models.
- • The PLM-8B model outperforms existing models in fine-grained video QA and video captioning tasks.
- • The model sets a new state-of-the-art in detailed visual understanding, demonstrating the effectiveness of open-access data.
Key Insights
- • PerceptionLM (PLM) is a fully open and reproducible vision-language model for detailed visual understanding.
- • The model addresses critical data gaps in video understanding by providing 2.8M human-labeled instances.
- • PLM includes a benchmark suite, PLM-VideoBench, for evaluating complex video understanding tasks.
