LLM RL optimizes for sequential reasoning We also optimize over the reasoning strategy, incl parallel trains of thought, aggregation of parallel traces, & sequential reasoning This allows the model to better explore & allocate compute at test time https://t.co/na0GAxbY…
AI Weekly's analysis
→
- SPIRAL co-trains three reasoning primitives in one RL framework: sequential chain-of-thought, parallel sampling of traces, and learned aggregation of those traces.
- The paper reports outperforming GRPO by up to 11× scaling efficiency and 15% higher performance when all three compute primitives are scaled.
- Training uses set reinforcement learning to make parallel traces collectively useful, plus standard RL to train the aggregation step itself.
