Can a New Training Objective Make LLMs See Further and Reason Better?

The paper introduces Next‑ToBE, a training‑objective modification that replaces the one‑hot next‑token label with a soft distribution covering a future token window, thereby activating latent anticipatory capacity in large language models and yielding significant gains in token‑hit rates, reasoning accuracy, and training efficiency.
