AI 中文摘要
思维模式融合(TMF)使大型语言模型通过在单一模型内统一非思维模式与思维模式,同时支持简洁响应与长形式推理。然而,其训练动态(包括两种模式间的数据比例和训练计划)仍未得到充分探索。本研究通过分析思维模式与非思维模式间的训练计划和数据比例,对TMF开展系统性研究。聚焦数学问题解决,我们构建了包含多种思维-非思维数据比例及三种训练计划的基准。结果揭示两种模式间存在非对称相互作用:提高非思维监督比例会降低思维模式的准确率。我们进一步表明,不同训练计划可调节该权衡,且最优计划取决于数据比例。最后,我们量化了非思维与思维模式监督间的负相关,凸显两种模式间的固有张力。这些发现为设计有效的TMF训练设置提供了实用指导,所有代码与数据已发布以支持进一步研究,地址为:Fusion Bench。
英文摘要
Thinking Mode Fusion (TMF) enables large language models to support both concise responses and long-form reasoning by unifying a non-thinking mode and a thinking mode within a single model. However, its training dynamics, including the \emph{data ratio} and \emph{training schedule} between the two modes, remain underexplored. In this work, we present a systematic study of TMF by analyzing the effects of the training schedule and data ratio between thinking and non-thinking modes. Focusing on mathematical problem solving, we construct a benchmark with multiple thinking-to-non-thinking data ratios and three training schedules. Our results reveal an asymmetric interaction between the two modes: increasing the ratio of non-thinking supervision reduces the accuracy of the thinking mode. We further show that different training schedules modulate this trade-off and that the optimal schedule depends on the data ratio. Finally, we quantify a negative correlation between non-thinking and thinking mode supervision, highlighting an inherent tension between these two modes. These findings provide practical guidance for designing effective TMF training settings.
