This paper instead follows how NLU capabilities change across the lineage from GPT-3 to GPT-3.5, and how each training step affects them. The authors test six models: davinci, text-davinci-001, code-davinci-002… 2. **[MASPO: Unifying Gradient Utilization, Probability Mass, and Signal Reliability for Robust and Sample-Efficient LLM Reasoning](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/fu-2026-maspo-unifying-gradient-utilization-probability/)** *(2026 · 7 citations)* RLVR methods like GRPO inherit PPO-style hard clipping, which the authors argue is poorly suited to how LLMs learn reasoning. ## Co-authors here 10 co-authors with a page, the most papers together first. - [Binbin Zheng](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/binbin-zheng/) - [Can Zu](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/can-zu/) - [Jie Zhou](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/jie-zhou/) - [Junjie Ye](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/junjie-ye/) - [Ke Zeng](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/ke-zeng/) - [Lu Pan](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/lu-pan/) - [Nuo Xu](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/nuo-xu/) - [Shichun Liu](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/shichun-liu/) - [Siming Chen](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/siming-chen/) - [Xunliang Cai](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/xunliang-cai/) ## 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 110 times (of the 149,439 papers whose bibliographies we read); [27 citing papers with a page here →](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/zekai-shao/cited-by/).
