arXiv:2605.25198v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Reinforcement learning with verifiable rewards (RLVR) has become a powerful paradigm for improving language models on reasoning-intensive tasks, but its effectiveness is often limited by exploration. For example, models often fail on hard problems, leaving little useful reward signal. External expert traces offer a natural source of guidance, yet they may also expose reward-relevant content along the critical path to the verifier target, such as final answers, intermediate values, executable implementations, or answer-related entities. This conte
The continuous drive to improve AI model performance on complex reasoning tasks is pushing research into more robust and efficient learning paradigms like Reinforcement Learning with Verifiable Rewards (RLVR).
Improving exploration and guidance in RL for language models can significantly enhance their capability to solve sophisticated problems, making them more reliable and powerful for critical applications.
New methods for leveraging expert traces while mitigating risks of 'cheating' by models will lead to more effective training of advanced AI agents, accelerating their development and deployment.
