LLMs Show Lower Performance on Memorized Multiple-Choice Questions
By
–
Large language models exhibit lower performance on memorized multiple-choice questions compared to non-memorized ones.
This counterintuitive finding suggests the coexistence of two distinct learning mechanisms: rote memorization and genuine capability acquisition. -

GRPO Adapted for Diffusion LLMs: UCLA and Meta’s diffu-GRPO
By
–
Can GRPO work for diffusion LLMs (dLLMs)?
A team from UCLA and Meta says yes—and they’ve got the receipts.
They introduce d1, a framework that adapts pre-trained masked dLLMs into reasoning models via SFT + RL.
The twist? Their RL method is a fresh one: diffu-GRPO. -
