Researchers propose Introspective Training (IXT), a novel method that uses natural language critique from a 'thinking reward model' to inform early stages of LLM training. This approach significantly improves compute efficiency by up to 2.8x and achieves performance levels previously unachievable for 7.5-12B transformer-based LLMs in areas like math and code.
