🚨 New Paper 🚨 How effectively do reasoning models reevaluate their thought? We find that: - Models excel at identifying unhelpful thoughts but struggle to recover from them - Smaller models can be more robust - Self-reevaluation ability is far from true meta-cognitive awareness 1/N 🧵

How do LLMs learn to reason from data? Are they ~retrieving the answers from parametric knowledge🦜? In our new preprint, we look at the pretraining data and find evidence against this: Procedural knowledge in pretraining drives LLM reasoning ⚙️🔢 🧵⬇️

Sparks of multi-hop reasoning ✨

🚨 New Paper 🚨 Can LLMs perform latent multi-hop reasoning without exploiting shortcuts? We find the answer is yes – they can recall and compose facts not seen together in training or guessing the answer, but success greatly depends on the type of the bridge entity (80% for country, 6% for year)! 1/N
