  1. Rethinking Fine-Tuning when Scaling Test-Time Compute: Limiting Confidence Improves Mathematical Reasoning (2025 · 9 citations)
    Test-time strategies such as pass@N let a model try N times while a verifier checks each attempt. Fine-tuning, however, usually ignores this. The authors ask whether standard supervised fine-tuning with cross-entropy (CE) loss suits such strategies.
  2. Hierarchical Reinforcement Learning with Augmented Step-Level Transitions for LLM Agents (2026 · 1 citation)
    LLM agents that solve multi-step interactive tasks usually feed the model the entire, ever-growing record of past observations and actions.
