Text can also carry visual information, as in ASCII art. The authors test whether this blind spot can be exploited. 2. **[Small Models Struggle to Learn from Strong Reasoners](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/li-2025-small-models-struggle-learn-strong/)** *(2025 · 61 citations)* Distilling reasoning traces from powerful LLMs into compact models is commonly assumed to help more as the teacher gets stronger. ## All works 3 works of theirs in our library, the most cited first; 2 with a page here, the others link their original until we summarise them. 1.
