GoLongRL releases a 23K-sample open long-context RL dataset spanning 9 tasks and introduces TMN-Reweight to improve multitask optimization, achieving performance comparable to much larger models under GRPO.
Entropy polarity is a signed token-level quantity derived from a first-order approximation of entropy change that predicts whether RL updates expand or contract policy entropy in LLM fine-tuning, revealing an asymmetry between high- and low-probability tokens.
TIDE-Bench is a new benchmark for tool-integrated reasoning that combines diverse tasks, multi-aspect metrics covering answer quality, process reliability, efficiency and cost, plus filtered challenging test sets.
Small open-weight models match GPT-5 on routine agent tool-use tasks but lag on long-horizon planning, supporting tiered routing to reduce costs in agentic systems.
