Thinking Hard, Not Smart: Reasoning Models Fail to Ration Test-Time Compute Across Questions

A new arXiv paper identifies a previously unmeasured failure mode in reasoning language models: their inability to strategically allocate shared test-time compute across multiple questions under budget constraints, revealing a gap between per-question optimization and holistic resource management.

Demystifying Entropy-based Selection for Chain-of-Thought Compression in Large Reasoning Models

A new arXiv preprint challenges the efficacy of entropy-based pruning for Chain-of-Thought compression, finding no advantage over random pruning across models and tasks, and showing token-level entropy selection works only on math benchmarks due to numeric token properties—not generalizable reasoning heuristics.

Probing the Origins of Reasoning Performance: Representational Quality for Mathematical Problem-Solving in RL vs. SFT Fine-Tuned Models

A new arXiv preprint investigates why reinforcement learning (RL)-fine-tuned large language models outperform supervised fine-tuned (SFT) models on mathematical reasoning tasks, identifying representational differences in hidden-state structure and layer-wise importance as key mechanistic drivers.
