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 reasoning capacity of RL-trained models is bounded by the capabilities of their base models.
- • Distillation is shown to genuinely expand the reasoning boundary, unlike RLVR.
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.
Trust, but verify

Key Results
- • Experimental data shows significant statistical differences between outputs of different LLMs.
- • Knowledge bases also produce distinguishable outputs, validating the detection method.
- • The proposed AVS design can effectively monitor and penalize dishonest Gaia nodes.
Key Insights
- • Decentralized AI networks like Gaia enable customized LLMs on personal computers.
- • Social consensus among mostly honest nodes can detect unauthorized LLMs.
- • Intersubjective validation with financial incentives can promote honest behavior.
PerceptionLM: Open-Access Data and Models for Detailed Visual Understanding

Key Results
- • PLM achieves competitive performance across 40 image and video benchmarks compared 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 without relying on proprietary 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 fine-grained video understanding tasks.
