arXiv:2606.26797v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Supervised fine-tuning (SFT) on a small, high-quality set of long reasoning traces is an effective approach for eliciting strong reasoning capabilities in Large Language Models (LLMs). However, existing methods for curating high-quality SFT data rely heavily on strong reasoning models to filter examples based on diversity and difficulty, making the curation process costly while often yielding suboptimal data quality. In this work, we show that diverse and challenging reasoning examples can be identified using only the initial reasoning tokens. Sp
This work is published as the AI community grapples with the high costs and complexities of data curation for increasingly sophisticated reasoning models, and the need for more efficient training methods.
Improving the efficiency and quality of data curation for reasoning models will accelerate the development of more capable and cost-effective AI systems, broadly impacting AI research and commercial applications.
The method for curating high-quality supervised fine-tuning data for reasoning models becomes significantly less reliant on strong reasoning models, and thus potentially less resource-intensive.
