RLVR alone won’t unlock stronger reasoning, the authors say high-quality data still matters more

The authors argue there is no shortcut to stronger reasoning through RLVR alone.
In their reply, they say empirical evidence shows that if the goal is smarter models, high-quality data still matters more than relying on reinforcement learning with verifiable rewards. They link both the paper and code, framing the result as a data-quality lesson rather than a new optimization trick.
