Abstract

Mid-training, the stage between pre-training and alignment, is where a model's per-domain data composition is typically set by data availability rather than principled design. We ask what that decision buys, and whether a later alignment pass can undo it. In a controlled logical-reasoning setting (Qwen3-8B-Base, with a 4B replication; five semantically rule-disjoint KOR-Bench domains) we train 30
