Large language models (LLMs) have achieved remarkable success across a wide range of natural language processing tasks, yet their performance remains heavily biased toward high-resource languages. Tibetan, despite its cultural significance and large speaker population, is still substantially underrepresented. In this work, we present a comprehensive pipeline for advancing Tibetan language modeling through large-scale data curation and continual pre-training. We construct a 72 GB high-quality Tibetan corpus, the largest to date, and adapt Qwen2.5-7B through balanced multilingual continual pre-training with Tibetan, Chinese, and English, followed by multilingual instruction tuning. To further scale capacity efficiently, we extend the dense model to a 50B-A10B Mixture-of-Experts architecture. Due to the absence of standardized Tibetan benchmarks, we build multiple evaluation datasets via high-quality translation and human verification. Experimental results show that both dense and MoE models consistently outperform existing open-source and Tibetan-focused models of similar scale across diverse tasks. Our work advances Tibetan-centric LLM research and provides transferable insights for extending LLMs to other low-resource languages. We will release the model weights, evaluation benchmarks, and detailed data processing documentation in the follow-up.
Recently, large reasoning models have achieved impressive performance, but their lengthy reasoning processes incur substantial inference overhead. To mitigate this issue, we propose the concept of reasoning vectors, representations extracted from the model’s hidden states, which can guide the model towards generating more concise and accurate responses. Building upon this, we present ERRV, a training framework that elicits efficient reasoning through reasoning vectors, which enables the model to generate high-quality responses during reinforcement learning. By performing targeted policy optimization on both accuracy and length objectives, ERRV effectively activates the model’s latent capability for efficient reasoning. Our experiments demonstrate that after training with ERRV, the model achieves approximately 30% reduction in reasoning length while maintaining stable accuracy, without guidance from the reasoning vector during inference. This establishes a trade-off between efficiency and performance. Furthermore, we identify key properties of reasoning vectors: robustness, characterized by high similarity before and after training, and generalizability, demonstrating applicability across base models, distilled models, RL-trained models, parameter-merged models, and mixed-thought models. These properties collectively guarantee the reliability and broad applicability of our approach.
Current Large Language Models (LLMs) typically rely on coarse-grained national labels for pluralistic value alignment. However, such macro-level supervision often obscures intra-country value heterogeneity, yielding a loose alignment.We argue that resolving this limitation requires shifting from national labels to multi-dimensional demographic constraints, which can identify groups with predictable, high-consensus value preference. To this end, we propose DVMap (High-Consensus Demographic-Value Mapping), a framework for fine-grained pluralistic value alignment. In this framework, we first present a demographic archetype extraction strategy to construct a high-quality value alignment corpus of 56,152 samples from the World Values Survey (WVS) by strictly retaining respondents with consistent value preferences under identical demographics. Over this corpus, we introduce a Structured Chain-of-Thought (CoT) mechanism that explicitly guides LLMs to reason about demographic-value correlations. Subsequently, we employ Group Relative Policy Optimization (GRPO) to achieve adaptive anchoring of value distributions. To rigorously evaluate generalization, we further establish a triple-generalization benchmark (spanning cross-demographic, cross-country, and cross-value) comprising 21,553 samples. Experimental results demonstrate that DVMap effectively learns the manifold mapping from demographics to values, exhibiting strong generalization and robustness. On cross-demographic tests, Qwen3-8B-DVMap achieves 48.6% accuracy, surpassing the advanced open-source LLM DeepSeek-v3.2 (45.1%).
