Claude is now being listed as an author on arXiv papers A response paper to Apple's "Illusion of Thinking" work just dropped with Claude Opus as first author, critiquing their experimental design and arguing the reasoning collapse was actually just token limit constraints.

RL Training Paradigm: 14B Model Matches 32B Baseline Performance
By
–
New training paradigm: instead of just predicting tokens, models reason about each prediction using RL The model thinks through context, considers alternatives, then makes a prediction. 14B model matches 32B baseline, though training costs are significantly higher.

Can LLMs Truly Introspect or Just Mimic Human Responses?
By
–
I think therefore I LLM Can AI actually introspect or is it just copying human responses? Turns out mostly copying, but LLMs can genuinely analyze some of their own internal settings. Temperature detection works. Other "self-awareness" claims are dubious.

Negative Reinforcement Improves LLM Reasoning Without Explicit Rewards
By
–
The Surprising Effectiveness of Negative Reinforcement in LLM Reasoning This paper shows that punishing incorrect answers—without explicitly rewarding correct ones—can be surprisingly effective for improving reasoning in large language models trained via reinforcement learning
