Recent research indicates that LLMs, particularly smaller ones, frequently struggle with robust reasoning. They tend to perform well on familiar questions but falter when those same problems are slightly altered, such as changing names or numbers, or adding irrelevant but related information. This weakness, known as poor out-of-distribution (OOD) generalization, results in notable accuracy drops, […] The post AbstRaL: Teaching LLMs Abstract Reasoning via Reinforcement to Boost Robustness on GSM Benchmarks appeared first on MarkTechPost. read more

Improving the reasoning capabilities of large language models (LLMs) without architectural changes is a core challenge in advancing AI alignment and usability. Researchers at Meta AI and the University of Washington have introduced ASTRO—Autoregressive Search-Taught Reasoner—a novel post-training framework designed to enhance reasoning in Llama-3.1-70B-Instruct. ASTRO is unique in teaching models to perform in-context search, […] The post Can We Improve Llama 3’s Reasoning Through Post-Training Alone? ASTRO Shows +16% to +20% Benchmark Gains appeared first on MarkTechPost. read more

Reward models are fundamental components for aligning LLMs with human feedback, yet they face the challenge of reward hacking issues. These models focus on superficial attributes such as response length or formatting rather than identifying true quality indicators like factuality and relevance. This problem arises because standard training objectives fail to differentiate between spurious correlations […] The post Crome: Google DeepMind’s Causal Framework for Robust Reward Modeling in LLM Alignment appeared first on MarkTechPost. read more

When we first land in the Codex environment, it feels like stepping into a co-pilot’s seat for coding. Codex is designed to take over much of the routine or overwhelming parts of software engineering, like understanding massive codebases, drafting PRs, and finding bugs, and help us focus on higher-level thinking. In this guided setup, we […] The post A Tutorial on Using OpenAI Codex with GitHub Repositories for Seamless AI-Powered Development appeared first on MarkTechPost. read more
