arXiv:2606.20068v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: While reinforcement learning from verifiable rewards (RLVR) typically has relied on a single binary verification signal, symbolic proof assistants in formal reasoning offer rich, fine-grained structured feedback. This gap between structured processes and unstructured rewards highlights the importance of feedback that is both dense and sound. In this work, we demonstrate that the Lean proof assistant itself can serve as a symbolic process oracle, supplying both outcome-level and fine-grained tactic-level verified feedback during training.

The increasing complexity of AI systems and the growing demand for verifiable correctness in critical applications is driving innovation in process-verified learning.
This development allows AI models to learn not just from outcomes but from the detailed, verifiable steps of reasoning, leading to more reliable and transparent autonomous agents.
AI systems can now incorporate rich, fine-grained feedback from formal reasoning environments, moving beyond simple binary verification signals to structured process-level learning.
