arXiv:2605.22703v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Reinforcement Learning with Verifiable Rewards (RLVR) has emerged as a central paradigm for scaling LLM reasoning, yet its optimization often suffers from training instability and suboptimal convergence. Through a systematic dissection of clipping-based GRPO-style objectives, we identify the rigid clipping decision induced by hard clipping as a key practical bottleneck in the studied RLVR setups. Specifically, our analysis suggests that informative signals can lie in the near-boundary region just beyond the clipping threshold, and are therefore d
This research addresses a fundamental optimization challenge in Reinforcement Learning with Verifiable Rewards (RLVR), a field central to scaling current LLM reasoning paradigms, which is seeing rapid advancements now.
Improved stability and convergence in RLVR will accelerate the development and deployment of more robust and capable AI agents, directly impacting a wide range of AI applications and potentially enabling more complex autonomous systems.
The proposed 'Clipping Bottleneck' resolution, via 'Stochastic Recovery of Near-Boundary Signals', suggests a significant technical improvement in how RLVR objectives are optimized, potentially making LLM reasoning more efficient and reliable.
