arXiv:2607.03065v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Reinforcement learning has become a standard post-training recipe for large language models, but dense full-parameter updates create two deployment-relevant bottlenecks: suppressed reasoning performance, often reflected by premature saturation of test-time scaling, and interference when consolidating multiple capabilities through multi-domain training or model merging. We show that the reasoning-effective component of these updates is largely concentrated in the base model's spectral space, motivating Subspace-Aligned Rewiring (SAR), a post-hoc
The increasing complexity and scale of reinforcement learning for large language models are creating deployment bottlenecks, driving the need for more efficient update mechanisms.
This development offers a potential solution to key limitations in scaling LLMs, such as suppressed reasoning and integration interference, which are critical for advanced AI applications.
By focusing updates on the spectral space, AI development could see more efficient, performant, and flexible LLMs, making multi-domain training and model merging more viable.
