Open, Reliable, and Collective: A Community-Driven Framework for Tool-Using AI Agents
Hy Dang, Quang Dao, Meng Jiang
Tool-integrated LLMs retrieve information, perform computations, and take real-world actions, but their reliability depends on both tool-use accuracy and intrinsic tool accuracy, i…
Composing Policy Gradients and Prompt Optimization for Language Model Programs
Noah Ziems, Dilara Soylu, Lakshya A Agrawal +10
Group Relative Policy Optimization (GRPO) has proven to be an effective tool for post-training language models (LMs). However, AI systems are increasingly expressed as modular prog…
Prioritizing the Best: Incentivizing Reliable Multimodal Reasoning by Rewarding Beyond Answer Correctness
Mengzhao Jia, Zhihan Zhang, Meng Jiang
Reinforcement Learning with Verifiable Rewards (RLVR) improves multimodal reasoning by rewarding verifiable final answers. Yet answer-correct trajectories may still rely on incompl…
HTAA: Enhancing LLM Planning via Hybrid Toolset Agentization & Adaptation
Chengrui Huang, Junshuo Zhang, Zhiyuan Ma +7
Enabling large language models to scale and reliably use hundreds of tools is critical for real-world applications, yet challenging due to the inefficiency and error accumulation i…
GEPA: Reflective Prompt Evolution Can Outperform Reinforcement Learning
Lakshya A Agrawal, Shangyin Tan, Dilara Soylu +14
Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly adapted to downstream tasks via reinforcement learning (RL) methods like Group Relative Policy Optimization (GRPO), which often requir…
