ThinkTwice: Jointly Optimizing Large Language Models for Reasoning and Self-Refinement

📰 ArXiv cs.AI

ThinkTwice is a two-phase framework that jointly optimizes large language models for reasoning and self-refinement

advanced Published 8 Apr 2026
Action Steps
  1. Implement Group Relative Policy Optimization (GRPO) to optimize the model on solving reasoning problems
  2. Optimize the model on refining its own solutions to the same problems using the same binary correctness reward
  3. Alternate between the two phases to jointly optimize the model for reasoning and self-refinement
  4. Evaluate the performance of the model using metrics such as accuracy and reliability
Who Needs to Know This

AI researchers and engineers on a team can benefit from ThinkTwice to improve the performance of their large language models, and product managers can leverage this framework to develop more accurate and reliable AI-powered products

Key Insight

💡 Joint optimization of large language models for reasoning and self-refinement can improve their performance and reliability
