SPARK: Susceptibility-Guided Profiling and Steering of Latent Reasoning States in Large Language Models

SPARK is introduced, which uses hidden-state response to diagnose whether a model internally enters an effective reasoning state and to guide lightweight test-time steering, and suggests that susceptibility can serve not only as a diagnostic signal for reasoning failures, but also as a practical guide for targeted test-time intervention.

Better Starts, Better Ends: Bootstrapped Iterative Self-Reasoning Distillation for Compressed Reasoning

BIRD(Bootstrapped Iterative Self-Reasoning Distillation), a two-stage self-reasoning distillation method that improves the rollout distribution before on-policy training and achieves a stronger accuracy-efficiency trade-off than prompting and cold-start on-policy distillation on MATH-500 and AIME benchmarks.
