A new paper explores fine-tuning large mixture-of-experts (MoE) models for low-resource languages, finding that while accuracy benchmarks show minimal improvement, supervised fine-tuning (SFT) significantly enhances the model's ability to reason in the target language. Reinforcement learning with verifiable rewards further refines these models, fixing issues like incorrect formatting and unintended language leakage, though the core reasoning habit in the low-resource language persists even without explicit accuracy gains. The research highlights the limitations of traditional accuracy metrics for evaluating such adaptations and proposes new behavioral dimensions for measurement. AI
