A Challenging Problem Solving Benchmark For Large Language Models](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/arora-2023-have-llms-advanced-enough-challenging/)** *(2023 · 107 citations)* As LLMs approach saturation on reasoning benchmarks such as GSM-8K, MATH and MMLU, the authors propose a harder test. 2. **[Training Language Models to Reason Efficiently](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/arora-2025-training-language-models-reason-efficiently/)** *(2025 · 74 citations)* Large reasoning models solve hard problems by producing very long chains of thought. This makes serving them expensive and slow, because attention cost grows quadratically and the KV cache grows linearly with length. Arora and Zanette propose teaching such models to reach correct answers with fewer tokens. They use… 3. **[Learning and Leveraging Verifiers to Improve Planning Capabilities of Pre-trained Language Models](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/arora-2023-learning-leveraging-verifiers-improve-planning/)** *(2023 · 10 citations)* This paper examines why fine-tuned language models plan poorly. In the Blocksworld domain, the authors find that the main failure is proposing actions whose preconditions do not hold in the current state. They fine-tune GPT-2 as a generator that reads a textual goal and current state and outputs the next action and… ## All works 6 works of theirs in our library, the most cited first; 3 with a page here, the others link their original until we summarise them. 1. **[Have LLMs Advanced Enough?
