1. Reinforcement-aware Knowledge Distillation for LLM Reasoning (2026 · 13 citations)
   Long chain-of-thought reasoning models trained with RL are expensive to run, so practitioners distill them into smaller students.
2. B'MOJO: Hybrid State Space Realizations of Foundation Models with Eidetic and Fading Memory (2024 · 11 citations)
   Current sequence models store the past in one of two ways. Transformers keep an exact (eidetic) record of recent tokens, but only within a bounded context. State Space Models compress the whole history into a lossy (fading) state. Hybrids such as Jamba combine both, but they give little control over the balance and…
