Quick briefing — cleaned from the original RSS feed
arXiv:2607.16205v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Reinforcement learning with verifiable rewards has emerged as a standard approach for enhancing reasoning in large language models, which typically optimizes the policy by contrasting multiple self generated rollouts. However, we identify a critical support limited bottleneck in this paradigm: on challenging reasoning tasks, the target model's samples often exhibit semantic redundancy, converging into the same erroneous "reasoning basins" that…
