Collaborative Learning and Reasoning over Model Slices

To address this limitation, we develop collaborative learning, encompassing the construction of heterogeneous collaborators and the learning of effective cross-model collaboration.

Key points

  • Large language models (LLMs) excel across diverse tasks, benefiting from knowledge priors, in-context reasoning, and test-time computation.
  • Pyramid supervision combines protocol distillation with step-level supervision to refine reasoning and interaction decisions throughout collaboration.
  • We evaluate our approach across four task categories: multi-hop question answering, mathematical reasoning, code generation, and open-ended constrained generation.
  • These findings show that learned collaboration turns model heterogeneity into complementary reasoning capabilities.
