למדנות רציונלית: כיצד ניתן לעודד אותה באמצעות ספורטיות קטנה

תקציר מקורי באנגליתarXiv:2609.04565v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large language models demonstrate increasingly strong reasoning capabilities through effective post-training. Yet, prevailing post-training methods optimize over massive numbers of tokens, implicitly assuming that effective learning must be token-intensive. We revisit this assumption in the on-policy distillation (OPD) setting, which naturally admits dense teacher supervision at every generated token. Using the Qwen3 family, we discover a counter-intuitive phenomenon: reasoning can be effectively incentivized by an extremely small fraction of generated tokens--as few as one or two tokens per reasoning trajectory, corresponding to only 0.05% of all tokens. Surprisingly, this sparse supervision in most cases matches or surpasses full-token trai
