思维模式融合(TMF)使大语言模型能够同时支持简洁回答和长篇推理,通过在单个模型中统一非思考模式与思考模式实现。然而,其训练动态,包括两种模式之间的数据比例和训练时序,仍缺乏深入探索。本文针对数学问题求解任务,构建了包含多种思考-非思考数据比例及三种训练时序的基准测试。结果表明,两种模式间存在不对称交互:提高非思考监督比例会显著降低思考模式的准确率。进一步发现,不同训练时序可调节这一权衡关系,且最优时序取决于数据比例。最后,量化出非思考与思考模式监督之间存在负相关性,揭示了二者间的固有张力。这些发现为设计有效的TMF训练设置提供了实用指导。所有代码与数据已公开于:https://github.com/caocongfeng/Fusion-Bench.git。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Thinking Mode Fusion (TMF) enables large language models to support both concise responses and long-form reasoning by unifying a non-thinking mode and a thinking mode within a single model. However, its training dynamics, including the \emph{data ratio} and \emph{training schedule} between the two modes, remain underexplored. In this work, we present a systematic study of TMF by analyzing the effects of the training schedule and data ratio between thinking and non-thinking modes. Focusing on mathematical problem solving, we construct a benchmark with multiple thinking-to-non-thinking data ratios and three training schedules. Our results reveal an asymmetric interaction between the two modes: increasing the ratio of non-thinking supervision reduces the accuracy of the thinking mode. We further show that different training schedules modulate this trade-off and that the optimal schedule depends on the data ratio. Finally, we quantify a negative correlation between non-thinking and thinking mode supervision, highlighting an inherent tension between these two modes. These findings provide practical guidance for designing effective TMF training settings.
