Researchers debate whether superhuman LLM reasoning truly emerges from scaled RL alone

Yoav Goldberg voiced confusion: current LLM reasoning traces are too good — he can't model how such capabilities 'emerge' from RL training, guessing it's really SFT on massive human examples. brianryhuang countered that, intellectually unsatisfying as it is, it really is just scaling RL — emergence from 'simple' RL training.
