arXiv:2605.20256v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Reinforcement learning has become a cornerstone for aligning and unlocking the reasoning capabilities of large-scale models. At its core, the training loop of GRPO and its variants alternates between rollout sampling and policy update. Unlike supervised learning, where each gradient step is anchored to an explicit ground-truth target, the optimal gradient direction for updating model parameters in this setting is not known a priori; the high-quality rollouts drawn during the sampling stage therefore act as the implicit "teacher" that guides every
The continuous evolution of large language models and reinforcement learning applications necessitates more efficient and robust training methodologies, making feedback-driven approaches critical.
Improved reinforcement learning techniques, especially those mitigating the need for explicit ground truth, can significantly accelerate the development and reliability of advanced AI systems.
The proposed FBOS-RL method offers a new paradigm for RL training by introducing bi-objective optimization, potentially leading to more stable and performant policies without direct optimal gradient knowledge.
