Thought leakage refers to the process, during reinforcement learning training of large language models, in which the chain-of-thought content the model uses for internal reasoning leaks in unintended ways into the final output, the training signal, or externally observable interfaces.

UnverifiedWhen a language model is asked to show its thinking, what it outputs is a self-description reorganized from linguistic patterns related to relevant concepts in its training data, not a genuine readout of its internal states.76% similarUnverifiedIn the transfer of LLM reasoning capabilities, knowledge distillation usually refers to training a weak model using chain-of-thought answers generated by a strong model as supervision data, and DeepSeek-R1's distilled series falls into this category.75% similarUnverifiedA reasoning stream refers to the model's output of its thinking process before giving a final answer, which is returned incrementally (as deltas) during streaming and is typically interleaved with tool calls.75% similarVerifiedThe reasoning paradigm is essentially the application of reinforcement learning to the post-training stage of language models, allowing the model to autonomously explore reasoning paths and receive reward feedback based on answer correctness, first publicly demonstrated in the o1 series of models.75% similarVerified大模型幻觉的技术本质在于模型在训练时学习的是语言模式的概率分布而非事实本身74% similar
