Training them on human-written step-by-step solutions is very expensive. This survey, by a team mostly from Tsinghua University, describes how the field is moving toward "large reasoning models": systems whose reasoning improves when more compute is spent… 2. **[AT\texttwosuperiorPO: Agentic Turn-based Policy Optimization via Tree Search](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/zong-2026-texttwosuperiorpo-agentic-turn-based-policy/)** *(2026)* AT²PO is a reinforcement learning method for LLM agents that solve tasks over several turns, alternating reasoning with tool calls such as search. ## Co-authors here 11 co-authors with a page, the most papers together first. - [Bo Zhou](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/bo-zhou/) - [Chengming Li](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/chengming-li/) - [Chenyang Shao](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/chenyang-shao/) - [Fengli Xu](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/fengli-xu/) - [Jie Jiang](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/jie-jiang/) - [Jingyi Wang](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/jingyi-wang/) - [Peng Chen](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/peng-chen/) - [Qi Yi](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/qi-yi/) - [Xiaochong Lan](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/xiaochong-lan/) - [Yang Li](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/yang-li/) - [Yunke Zhang](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/yunke-zhang/) ## Venues Where their works here were published, the most works first, with the editions of those that have a page. - [Annual Meeting of the Association for Computational Linguistics (ACL)](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/acl/): [ACL 2026](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/acl/2026/) ## Cited by Papers of our library cite their works 102 times (of the 149,439 papers whose bibliographies we read); [32 citing papers with a page here →](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/zefang-zong/cited-by/).
