  1. Small Models Struggle to Learn from Strong Reasoners (2025 · 61 citations)
    Distilling reasoning traces from powerful LLMs into compact models is commonly assumed to help more as the teacher gets stronger.
  2. Does Math Reasoning Improve General LLM Capabilities? Understanding Transferability of LLM Reasoning (2025 · 25 citations)
    The paper asks whether the rapid gains reasoning-tuned LLMs show on math benchmarks such as MATH and AIME reflect broader problem-solving skill or narrow specialization.
