GRIP: Grounded Reasoning via Information-Restricted Premises
Quick summary
arXiv:2608.16776v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: High-capacity encoders in retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) can let the query dominate the latent state, leaving retrieved evidence functionally irrelevant. We call this failure mode query dominance. To address it, we introduce \textbf{GRIP} (Grounded Reasoning via Information-Restricted Premises), which imposes capacity asymmetry: the decoder keeps full-dimensional access to the query, while retrieved evidence passes through a severe stochastic bottleneck. This forces the evidence channel to encode only the residual information unavailable fr

Why it matters
“GRIP: Grounded Reasoning via Information-Restricted Premises” should be evaluated beyond branding and benchmark scores. Its practical importance will emerge in task accuracy, latency, unit cost, safety and integration with real workflows.
