# Self-Routing framework adapts LLM post-training per sample based on rollout behavior

Self-Routing uses rollout correctness and confidence to route each LLM sample to GRPO, self-distillation, regularization, or skipping, improving math reasoning.

Experiments on mathematical reasoning with Qwen3 and Qwen3.5 backbones show that Self-Routing consistently improves over uniform GRPO, uniform OPSD, fixed mixtures, and simpler routing baselines. [^1]

Researchers introduced IdeaForecastBench to evaluate whether large language models can anticipate subsequent research work based on existing literature. [^2]

The paper's authors propose Self-Routing, a behavior-conditioned post-training framework for large language models that uses rollout correctness and confidence to decide how each sample should be optimized. [^3]

The paper 'REAL-Q: E2E LLM Quantization via Dynamic Gradient Descent', authored by Qian Zhang, Yaoming Li, and co-authors, proposes REAL-Q, a post-training quantization paradigm for large language models that targets an end-to-end-aligned surrogate of the global loss and refines it via dynamic block-wise gradient descent applied after every column block of 128 columns. [^4]

The author spent several months building a custom 2-bit quantization scheme for the Qwen3 model. [^5]

The throughput of the 2-bit quantized Qwen3 model was barely faster than the FP16 baseline. [^6]
