The earlier MoE-based approach, MoE-LPR, also inflates model size: Qwen1.5-1.8B grows 3.2× to support three extra languages. This paper introduces LayerMoE, which questions whether every layer needs the same number… 4. **[Think Natively: Unlocking Multilingual Reasoning with Consistency-Enhanced Reinforcement Learning](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/zhang-2026-think-natively-unlocking-multilingual-reasoning/)** *(2026 · 11 citations)* Reasoning-oriented LLMs that think before answering often handle non-English prompts poorly. 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. **[Language-Coupled Reinforcement Learning for Multilingual Retrieval-Augmented Generation](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/qi-2026-language-coupled-reinforcement-learning-multilingual/)** *(2026 · 5 citations)* The paper addresses two problems in multilingual retrieval-augmented generation (MRAG). The first is knowledge bias: an LLM answers the same question differently depending on its language. The second is knowledge conflict: passages retrieved from collections in many languages contradict each other.
