Split the Labor: Separating Evidence Interpretation from Decision Aggregation

arXiv:2608.14509v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Systems that ask a language model to reach a conclusion from many sources usually concatenate them into one prompt. This conflates two operations with different requirements. Interpreting a source rewards capacity and context. Combining interpretations…

Capacity-Dependent Effects of Data Selection for Reasoning

arXiv:2608.13721v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: In reasoning supervised fine-tuning, candidate responses for the same instruction can differ substantially in how well they match the student’s current distribution. Recent likelihood-based response selection methods suggest that responses closer to the student distribution…

Dissociating the Internal Representations of Sycophancy in LLMs

arXiv:2607.07003v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Large Language Models (LLMs) frequently exhibit sycophancy, agreeing with a user’s statement even when it is incorrect. While often studied as a single, uniform behavior, sycophancy can manifest in substantially distinct ways across contexts, raising…
