Base Models Know How to Reason, Thinking Models Learn When
Why do thinking language models like DeepSeek R1 outperform their base counterparts? Despite consistent performance gains, it remains unclear to what extent thinking models learn entirely new reasoning capabilities or repurpose pre-existing base model ones. In this work, we propose a hybrid model where we activate reasoning mechanisms in base models at the right time to elicit thinking-model-level reasoning chains, implying that thinking models exploit already existing capabilities. To ground o…

$HS$-tensional maps and $HM$-tensional maps
Let $ψ: (M,g)\longrightarrow (N,h)$ be a smooth map between Riemannian manifolds. The tension field of $ψ$ can be regarded as a map from $(M,g)$ into the Riemannian vector bundle $ψ^{-1}TN$, equipped with the Sasaki metric $G_{S}$. In this paper, we study certain aspects of two types of maps: those whose tension fields are harmonic maps (called $HM$-tensional maps) and those whose tension fields are harmonic sections (called $HS$-tensional maps).
