All Work And No Play Makes Jack a Dull Boy: Understanding and Preventing Catastrophic Strategy Collapse in RLVR

During post-training of large language models (LLMs) with Reinforcement Learning with Verifiable Rewards (RLVR), GRPO-style algorithms can exhibit severe late-stage collapse. Prompt-based probing reveals that this is not benign strategic pruning, but a harmful contraction of effective strategy capacity that makes disti …

Reciprocal Guidance: Orchestrating Draft and Verify Budgets for Advancing the Diffusion-AR Self-Speculation Frontier

Diffusion drafting with autoregressive (AR) verification has emerged as a promising paradigm for efficient speculative decoding. Recent self-speculation models, represented by Nemotron-Labs-Diffusion, further simplify the speculative pipeline by unifying drafting and verification within a shared backbone, while enablin …

DeepSeek-V4.1-Flash: Pushing the Limits of KV Cache Compression

DeepSeek-AI, Anyi Xu, B. Li et al. · 2026

The widespread adoption of long-horizon agents has made model workloads increasingly input-heavy. Although prior work has substantially reduced the cost of long-context computation, prefill remains computationally expensive, and large KV caches continue to strain HBM and SSD capacity and data-transfer bandwidth. Togeth …
