On the Role of Reasoning Patterns in the Generalization Discrepancy of Long Chain-of-Thought Supervised Fine-Tuning

arXiv CS.CL

ArXi:2604.01702v2 Announce Type: replace Supervised Fine-Tuning (SFT) on long Chain-of-Thought (CoT) trajectories has become a pivotal phase in building large reasoning models. However, how CoT trajectories from different sources influence the generalization performance of models remains an open question. In this paper, we conduct a comparative study using two sources of verified CoT trajectories generated by two competing models, \texttt{DeepSeek-R1-0528} and \texttt{gpt-oss-120b}, with their problem sets controlled to be identical.
