Researchers at Nvidia have developed a new technique that flips the script on how large language models (LLMs) learn to reason. The method, called reinforcement learning pre-training (RLP), integrates RL into the initial training phase rather than saving it for the end.This approach encourages the model to “think for itself before predicting what comes next, thus teaching an independent thinking behavior earlier in the...
