Happy to share our paper, "Correct Answers, Invalid Traces: What Verifiable Grade-School Math Reveals About Chain-of-Thought Traces".
When a model gets the right answer, is the reasoning it produces also right? We test this on synthetic grade-school math where every step of a trace can be checked by a program.
Thread below.

These findings matter for chain-of-thought monitoring in AI safety, where the trace is all a monitor sees.

I audited FineWeb-Edu, the educational subset of FineWeb, for misinformation. I annotated 200K documents from the 100BT sample using Llama 4 Maverick.

- On known problematic domains (naturalnews.com, rt.com, codoh.com, etc.), 39% of documents contain misinformation, nearly 10x the overall rate
- Extrapolating to the full 1.53B document dataset: ~63M pages may contain misinformation

Getting scooped on my own paper drop by @DamienTeney 😂
But he's spot on - tabular language models have been overblown
Reported performance gains often don’t come from emergent generalization at all.

Happy to share our new paper! We study Tabular Language Models (TLMs): LLMs fine-tuned on serialized tabular data, converting rows into text sequences.
Do TLMs actually learn tabular reasoning? Our re-evaluation suggests maybe not. 🧵

(3) Instruction-tuning alone with Alpaca (no tabular data) bridges most of the performance gap
This suggests reported gains come from instruction-following and memorization rather than genuine tabular reasoning.
