RLVR is not just about RL, it's more about VR! Particularly for LLM coding, good verifiers (tests) are hard to get! In our latest work, we ask 3 questions: How good are current tests? How do we get better tests? How much does test quality matter? leililab.github.io/HardTests/

🧠 Reasoning models often overthink. 🚀 In our new paper, we show: 1️⃣ Two overthinking scores. 2️⃣ DUMB500 — a benchmark of extremely easy questions. 3️⃣ THOUGHT TERMINATOR — a decoding method that reduces token waste by up to 90%, often improving accuracy. Details below 👇
