Recent research suggests RL training optimizes search efficiency over existing capabilities rather than expanding reasoning capacity. Here's what the pass@k evidence actually shows.
DeepMind's DiscoRL discovers reinforcement learning algorithms that outperform hand-designed methods like PPO and DQN. By treating algorithm design as a meta-learning problem, it found alternatives to value functions and bootstrapping through optimization alone.
Are large language models merely stochastic parrots, or do they develop genuine internal representations of the world? This investigation examines evidence from Othello-GPT, spatial encoding in LLMs, and the symbol grounding problem to explore what cognitive science reveals about AI understanding.
