arXiv:2607.07178v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Recent breakthroughs of Reinforcement Learning (RL) have highlighted its potential for complex agentic Large Language Model (LLM) tasks. However, existing efforts largely focus on single-task settings, whereas real-world deployment necessitates a generalist agent capable of solving multiple tasks simultaneously. In this work, we identify a critical yet underexplored phenomenon in multi-task agentic RL: different tasks can exhibit exploration-exploitation pace mismatch. Specifically, easier tasks may converge early to low-entropy policies that hin
The paper addresses a critical challenge in scaling Reinforcement Learning capabilities for LLMs from single-task to multi-task real-world applications, building on recent LLM breakthroughs.
This work is crucial for enabling generalist AI agents capable of handling diverse tasks, a key step towards autonomous systems operating effectively in complex environments.
The proposed 'Entropy Pacing Policy Optimization' offers a method to overcome exploration-exploitation imbalances in multi-task agentic RL, potentially accelerating the development of more robust generalist agents.
