让语言模型学会推理多种合理后续词，提升推理多样性与准确性

Next-word prediction (NWP) trains language models against a single observed continuation, even though many contexts admit multiple plausible next words. Recent RL-based next-word reasoning methods make this tension explicit: they reward a model for producing a rationale that supports one context-conditioned continuation, which can turn a pre-existing preference into a confident, self-justifying trajectory. We introduce BOW, an RL framework that instead trains models to produce self-contained, neutral, and comprehensive descriptions of the plausible next-word space. The policy generates a next-word reasoning trajectory from the full context, but a frozen scorer computes the core reward from that trajectory alone, without separately receiving the context. BOW-Reg adds a lightweight breadth regularizer to this core reward to discourage premature collapse. On two model backbones, BOW remains competitive with the original models and often outperforms trained baselines across ten general reasoning benchmarks. On benchmarks testing ambiguous references and word meanings, BOW-Reg achieves the highest SharedRef correctness and the lowest HoWN-Simple single-sense collapse on both backbones. Human evaluation further shows that BOW-Reg produces broader next-word reasoning trajectories, while direct next-word-prediction evaluation shows that these trajectories remain predictive.
