This costs many tokens and can even hurt accuracy on easy, fact-based questions. A pilot with Qwen2.5-0.5B on text-rich VQA and KIE data showed that direct answers were both more accurate and far cheaper than reasoning-based… 3. **[AlphaOne: Reasoning Models Thinking Slow and Fast at Test Time](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/zhang-2025-alphaone-reasoning-models-thinking-slow/)** *(2025 · 10 citations)* Models like OpenAI o1 and DeepSeek-R1, known as large reasoning models (LRMs), frequently overthink or underthink at inference time. 4. **[English Out-of-Vocabulary Lexical Evaluation Task](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/wang-2018-english-out-vocabulary-lexical-evaluation/)** *(2018 · 3 citations)* The paper proposes a benchmark for words a model has never seen: out-of-vocabulary (OOV) items that occur only in test material, so their meaning must come from surrounding text. 5. **[Comprehensive Benchmarking of Long-Form Speech Generation in Diverse Scenarios](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/pan-2026-comprehensive-benchmarking-long-form-speech/)** *(2026)* Long-form text-to-speech has shifted from single sentences to paragraphs and multi-speaker dialogue, but evaluation has not kept pace. 6. **[Stabilizing Efficient Reasoning with Step-Level Advantage Selection](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/wang-2026-stabilizing-efficient-reasoning-step-level/)** *(2026)* Methods that make LLM reasoning shorter usually add length penalties or pruning. They also tend to post-train in a much smaller context window than the base model used. The authors separate these two factors. They post-train DeepScaleR-1.5B-Preview with plain GRPO in a 4K window, using only a correctness reward.
