Staleness-Learning Rate Scaling Laws for Asynchronous RLHF

Jingwei Song, Haofeng Xu, Jie Xiao +8

High-throughput RLHF systems often decouple rollout generation from policy optimization, leading to the use of stale rollouts during learner updates. In this work, we study the eff…

The Mirage of Optimizing Training Policies: Monotonic Inference Policies as the Real Objective for LLM Reinforcement Learning

Jing Liang, Hongyao Tang, Yi Ma +9

Reinforcement learning (RL) has gained growing attention in large language model (LLM) post-training, yet RL training remains fragile and can suffer from instability or collapse. O…

Complementary RL: Towards Efficient Experience-Driven Agent Learning

Dilxat Muhtar, Jiashun Liu, Wei Gao +8

Reinforcement Learning (RL) has emerged as a powerful paradigm for training LLM-based agents, yet remains limited by low sample efficiency, stemming not only from sparse outcome fe…

RollArt: Disaggregated Multi-Task Agentic RL Training at Scale

Wei Gao, Yuheng Zhao, Tianyuan Wu +15

Agentic Reinforcement Learning (RL) trains LLMs through multi-turn interactions with environments, producing workloads that mix compute-bound prefill, bandwidth-bound decoding, CPU…

How Does Reasoning Flow? Tracing Attention-Induced Information Flow for Targeted RL in LLMs

Zhichen Dong, Yang Li, Yuhan Sun +9

Token-level credit assignment remains a key obstacle for reinforcement learning (RL) in large language models (LLMs), where RL recipes typically treat all tokens equally, failing t…

Attention Illuminates LLM Reasoning: The Preplan-and-Anchor Rhythm Enables Fine-Grained Policy Optimization

Yang Li, Zhichen Dong, Yuhan Sun +9

The reasoning pattern of Large language models (LLMs) remains opaque, and reinforcement learning (RL) typically applies uniform credit across an entire generation, blurring the dis…
