This hides differences when nearly every model fails and reveals little about why. Many benchmarks also rely on single-turn or fully observable problems. AgentBoard (NeurIPS 2024, Datasets and Benchmarks track) addresses this with 1013… 2. **[Genius: A Generalizable and Purely Unsupervised Self-Training Framework For Advanced Reasoning](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/xu-2025-genius-generalizable-purely-unsupervised-self/)** *(2025 · 8 citations)* Genius tackles the problem of improving LLM reasoning after pre-training without any external supervision. 3. **[How Can Synthetic Data Improve Multilingual Language Model Pretraining? A Data Quality Perspective](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/zhu-2026-how-can-synthetic-data-improve/)** *(2026)* Multilingual LLMs perform poorly in low-resource languages. The authors argue the main gap is not token volume but how little world knowledge the available text contains. They trained 1.1B TinyLlama models from scratch on noisy MADLAD-400 web data in six languages, all with the same token budget.
