SFT Conflicts, RL Coexists: A Theoretical and Empirical Analysis of Multi-Task Learning for LLMs

Hugging Face Daily Papers · 2026-08-06 Cached

This paper presents a theoretical and empirical analysis showing that SFT suffers from task conflicts in multi-task LLM training while RL enables stable coexistence, proposing the Parallel-RL paradigm for efficient multi-task training.

Why Larger Models Learn More: Effects of Capacity, Interference, and Rare-Task Retention

Hugging Face Daily Papers · 2026-05-28 Cached

This paper investigates why larger models outperform smaller ones, attributing it to reduced gradient interference and better resource allocation, allowing them to learn rare and complex tasks even with infinite data. Experiments on synthetic data and OLMo models verify that larger models avoid overwriting rare-task features due to weaker gradient updates for common tasks.
