Sherpa: Training LLMs to Teach Adaptively Instead of Just Solving
Diyi_Yang · x · 2026-10-08
Researchers including Weixian Xu introduce Sherpa, a framework for training LLMs to teach adaptively. The core idea separates solving from teaching: language models already excel at math, but a good teacher should adapt instruction to each learner's preferences and level, echoing the Chinese principle of 因材施教. The authors stress AI should help people grow rather than replace them.
