The earlier MoE-based approach, MoE-LPR, also inflates model size: Qwen1.5-1.8B grows 3.2× to support three extra languages.

They tend to drift into English or a mix of languages during reasoning, and their accuracy drops compared with English. The authors introduce M-Thinker, a family of models (1.5B, 4B, 7B) trained with GRPO using two new reward… 5. **[Multilingual Chain-of-Thought Compression via Cross-Lingual Distillation](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/wan-2026-multilingual-chain-thought-compression-cross/)** *(2026)* Chain-of-thought (CoT) reasoning models often produce long, redundant traces. Existing compression techniques are tuned mostly on English. In other languages they either shorten outputs very little or cost accuracy, and low-resource languages suffer most.
