This paper from Tsinghua University and Shanghai Jiao Tong University received perfect scores (6, 6, 6, 6) at NeurIPS 2025! It aims to answer a key question: Does reinforcement learning really make large language models better reasoners? The authors study Reinforcement Learning with Verifiable Rewards (RLVR) and find that while it improves accuracy for small k, it doesn’t create new reasoning patterns—meaning the base model still determines the upper limit of reasoning ability. Across six RLVR variants, performance gains plateau, suggesting that current RL setups mainly refine reasoning rather than reinvent it. Interestingly, it’s distillation, not RL, that shows genuine signs of emergent reasoning. This research points to the next frontier for truly self-improving large language models. Does Reinforcement Learning Really Incentivize Reasoning Capacity in LLMs Beyond the Base Model?

Thrilled that our paper received the only perfect score at NeurIPS this year. Huge thanks to my collaborators and the reviewers. See you in San Diego! limit-of-rlvr.github.io papercopilot.com/statistics/… credit to @papercopilot

#CueLang makes it very easy and elegant to add #monitoring to your system (in this example exposing @PrometheusIO scrape endpoints) across environments and deployments, with templating, validation, defaults and even enforcement. Good talk by @cue_lang creator @mpvl_ @cfgmgmtcamp

A must read indeed: testscript is awesome! We use it everywhere in cue to quickly roll out comprehensive test sets that are also reusable for implementations in other languages as a bonus.

Off the back of this I’ve been playing with #cuelang today and my mind has been slightly blown apart by the idea of basing config generation on a lattice structure and treating types & values as the same thing. Lots of great responses here on ways to test Helm values too 😄
How are people unit testing Helm template files? This is getting sufficiently complex that I want to be able to assert that given certain values passed in, certain output comes out after templating (e.g. setting a value adds a flag to a deployment etc)
