Learning to Stop without Learning to Stop: Self-Supervised Confidence Training Improves Reasoning Efficiency

Reasoning models often generate very long reasoning traces, making inference computationally expensive. Existing approaches typically improve efficiency either through inference-time early-stopping mechanisms or by explicitly encouraging shorter reasoning during training, for example through reinforcement learning with length penalties. We show that substantial efficiency gains can instead emerge from a different kind of supervision: confidence. Using a self-supervised procedure, we fine-tune reasoning models to predict their confidence in the answer at intermediate points along their own reasoning trajectories using only 600 training problems. Confidence is used only as a training target: the loss contains no objective for reasoning length, efficiency, or stopping. At inference, the fine-tuned models use the standard generation procedure, with no confidence elicitation or early-stopping mechanism. Despite this, self-supervised confidence fine-tuning makes reasoning more efficient, reducing generated tokens by up to 25\% at matched accuracy across Gemma, Qwen, Nemotron, and GPT-OSS models on mathematical, scientific, and coding reasoning benchmarks, with efficiency gains comparable to methods that explicitly optimize for shorter reasoning. Analysis of reasoning episodes further shows that confidence supervision largely preserves the base models' high-level reasoning composition rather than selectively suppressing particular behaviors. Our results suggest that efficient reasoning may emerge as a downstream consequence of learning metacognitive signals, without being directly optimized.

DeepEdu-v1: Efficient and Scalable Agentic LLMs for Vietnamese Education

AI tutoring could markedly improve learning outcomes for students in developing regions such as Vietnam, yet the two obvious paths both fall short. Cloud assistants such as ChatGPT route sensitive student data to foreign servers---violating data-sovereignty laws such as Vietnam's Decree 53---and, pre-trained on Western-centric corpora, are not organized around the national textbook curriculum, so their knowledge of local content is unsystematic and frequently hallucinated. Self-hosting an open model keeps data on-premise but hits a two-fold wall: post-training quantization (AWQ, GPTQ) tames the static weight footprint, yet the dynamic KV cache and prefill latency of long tutoring contexts still cause out-of-memory failures and slow responses on consumer GPUs, while the model keeps hallucinating on region-specific material. We present DeepEdu-v1, an AI-tutoring system for Vietnamese education built on SCALE (Self-improving Context-Aware Learning Engine), a framework with two innovations. First, a long-context inference engine amortizes token selection from per-sub-chunk to per-cluster granularity; on long-context retrieval it issues x7.7 fewer retrieval calls than a state-of-the-art selective-attention baseline, cutting prefill latency (TTFT) by roughly 35% while matching or improving task accuracy. Second, a self-improving agentic layer continuously curates a verified playbook from past interactions instead of fine-tuning, a design intended to progressively reduce reliance on dominant-language priors as trustworthy local knowledge accumulates. In its deployed configuration, DeepEdu achieves a nearly x2 TTFT speedup over standard vLLM serving and lifts agentic accuracy from 70.0% to 79.5% on complex tasks, with the strongest per-track gains across financial-reasoning and interactive-agent benchmarks.

Muslim: A Deployed Arabic Voice AI Platform for Grounded Islamic Knowledge

We present Muslim, a production Arabic voice AI platform serving grounded, sourced Islamic knowledge to real users. Beyond a real-time voice pipeline (NeMo Arabic ASR, an OpenAI-compatible LLM endpoint, self-hosted TTS) and a deterministic multi-source retrieval layer routed across six Model Context Protocol servers, we report three things a research prototype typically lacks. First, a released family of fine-tuned Arabic Islamic model artifacts: an efficient tool-routing LLM (Muslim-6B-PRO, 5.94B parameters) and a Modern Standard Arabic TTS model (Fasih-TTS-V1) that ranks 5th of 17 overall and 2nd of 11 open-weight systems on the community-voted Arabic TTS Arena for MSA. Second, an account and metering layer - a free per-account turn allowance, capacity-aware refusal, and email verification deferred to the point it actually matters - that turns an open demo into an operable, abuse-resistant product. Third, a three-layer observability stack (liveness, error reporting, product analytics) built specifically around the system's characteristic failure mode: a GPU-bound agent host going silent while the web tier keeps serving normally. We report real, measured latency and accuracy figures (98.4% recitation-validation accuracy on 124 cases; end-to-end voice latency of 0.9-1.7s) and discuss the concrete engineering trade-offs and limitations of running an Islamic-knowledge voice product in production.

ViSTA: A Simple Bridge Extends Visual Alignment to Clinical Time-Series Understanding in Multimodal LLMs

Clinical prediction models estimate risk from patient measurements, while large language models support medical text understanding and question answering. Yet their language capabilities do not ensure accurate prediction from structured, high-dimensional clinical time series. Improving this ability would connect risk estimation with flexible questions about a patient's evolving condition. We introduce ViSTA, a compact adapter that incorporates irregular numerical measurements into a pretrained vision-language model's chart representations. It learns corrections to visual tokens while leaving all pretrained parameters unchanged. On MIMIC-IV, ViSTA has the highest mean scores among the compared adaptations on all four metrics for acute kidney injury and mortality prediction across models with 2-9 billion parameters. With 0.516 million trainable parameters, the 2-billion-parameter model reaches an area under the ROC curve of 0.7376 for acute kidney injury, compared with GPT-5.6 Sol's 0.7380 with text input and high reasoning effort. Training for temporal question answering yields 69.27% accuracy at 4 billion parameters with over 90% fewer trainable parameters than low-rank adaptation using charts or numerical text, at a 2.82-4.88 percentage-point accuracy gap. ViSTA extends pretrained language models to numerical prediction and temporal questions.
