GRIP: Grounded Reasoning via Information-Restricted Premises

Excerpt

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
