GR-Dexter Technical Report

Ruoshi Wen, Guangzeng Chen, Zhongren Cui +23

Vision-language-action (VLA) models have enabled language-conditioned, long-horizon robot manipulation, but most existing systems are limited to grippers. Scaling VLA policies to b…

Thinking vs. Doing: Agents that Reason by Scaling Test-Time Interaction

Junhong Shen, Hao Bai, Lunjun Zhang +8

The current paradigm of test-time scaling relies on generating long reasoning traces ("thinking" more) before producing a response. In agent problems that require interaction, this…

Self-Challenging Language Model Agents

Yifei Zhou, Sergey Levine, Jason Weston +2

Large language models are quickly becoming the foundation for intelligent agents that are capable of using tools. However, training such agents is challenging because it requires h…

SWEET-RL: Training Multi-Turn LLM Agents on Collaborative Reasoning Tasks

Yifei Zhou, Song Jiang, Yuandong Tian +4

Large language model (LLM) agents need to perform multi-turn interactions in real-world tasks. However, existing multi-turn RL algorithms for optimizing LLM agents fail to perform…

Proposer-Agent-Evaluator(PAE): Autonomous Skill Discovery For Foundation Model Internet Agents

Yifei Zhou, Qianlan Yang, Kaixiang Lin +5

The vision of a broadly capable and goal-directed agent, such as an Internet-browsing agent in the digital world and a household humanoid in the physical world, has rapidly advance…

DigiRL: Training In-The-Wild Device-Control Agents with Autonomous Reinforcement Learning

Hao Bai, Yifei Zhou, Mert Cemri +4

Training corpuses for vision language models (VLMs) typically lack sufficient amounts of decision-centric data. This renders off-the-shelf VLMs sub-optimal for decision-making task…

Aligning Large Language Models with Representation Editing: A Control Perspective

Lingkai Kong, Haorui Wang, Wenhao Mu +7

Aligning large language models (LLMs) with human objectives is crucial for real-world applications. However, fine-tuning LLMs for alignment often suffers from unstable training and…

ArCHer: Training Language Model Agents via Hierarchical Multi-Turn RL

Yifei Zhou, Andrea Zanette, Jiayi Pan +2

A broad use case of large language models (LLMs) is in goal-directed decision-making tasks (or "agent" tasks), where an LLM needs to not just generate completions for a given promp…

Offline Data Enhanced On-Policy Policy Gradient with Provable Guarantees

Yifei Zhou, Ayush Sekhari, Yuda Song +1

Hybrid RL is the setting where an RL agent has access to both offline data and online data by interacting with the real-world environment. In this work, we propose a new hybrid RL…
