| 2026 | Step-GRPO: Internalizing Dynamic Early Exit for Efficient ReasoningabstractLarge reasoning models that use long chainof-thought excel at problem-solving yet waste compute on redundant checks.Curbing this overthinking is hard: training-time length penalties can cripple ability, while inferencetime early-exit adds system overhead.To bridge this gap, we propose Step-GRPO, a novel post-training framework that internalizes dynamic early-exit capabilities directly into the model.Step-GRPO shifts the optimization objective from raw tokens to semantic steps by utilizing linguistic markers to structure reasoning.We introduce a Dynamic Truncated Rollout mechanism that exposes the model to concise high-confidence trajectories during exploration, synergized with a Step-Aware Relative Reward that dynamically penalizes redundancy based on group-level baselines.Extensive experiments across three model sizes on diverse benchmarks demonstrate that Step-GRPO achieves a superior accuracy-efficiency tradeoff.On Qwen3-8B, our method reduces token consumption by 32.0% compared to the vanilla model while avoiding the accuracy degradation observed in traditional length-penalty methods.
