"Language-model post-training is the main stage at which model behavior is shaped, yet it still largely involves optimization of scalar rewards that summarize diverse desiderata. This abstraction gives practitioners little visibility into what their data actually teaches models, allowing spurious cor..."

"Chain-of-thought (CoT) supervised fine-tuning (SFT) is widely adopted to improve reasoning ability, yet we find that it systematically degrades long-context recall in hybrid linear-attention models. Across architectures including HypeNet and Jet-Nemotron, retrieval performance on Needle-In-A-Haystac..."

"Long input sequences are central to document understanding and multi-step reasoning in Large Language Models, yet the quadratic cost of attention makes inference both memory-intensive and slow. Context distillation mitigates this by compressing contextual information into model parameters, and recen..."

"Hallucinations, where language models (LMs) generate factually ungrounded responses, pose serious risks, as users tend to blindly rely on them. This is particularly concerning in high-stakes domains, where consequences of such model behavior can lead to significant harms. Despite notable progress in..."

"Deployed large reasoning models (LRMs) often behave unexpectedly. Test-time steering controls LRM outputs by intervening on their hidden representations, but it can degrade output quality.
