Skill Self-Play: Pushing the Frontier of LLM Capability with Co-Evolving Skills

Siyuan Huang, Pengyu Cheng, Haotian Liu +10

LLM training is shifting from manual design and annotation to interaction-driven self-evolution. However, existing self-evolutionary methods face a fundamental dilemma between task…

GDPO: Mitigating Multi-Reward Conflicts via Group-Dynamic reward-Decoupled Policy Optimization

Haotian Liu, Yihao Liu, Jingwei Ni +11

As LLMs advance, post-training reinforcement learning (RL) increasingly relies on multi-dimensional rewards to cultivate comprehensive capabilities. This shift demands new algorith…

Trace2Skill: Distill Trajectory-Local Lessons into Transferable Agent Skills

Jingwei Ni, Yihao Liu, Xinpeng Liu +7

Large Language Model (LLM) agents increasingly rely on domain-specific skills, yet manually authoring such skills does not scale, and skills generated purely from parametric knowle…

Skill-RM: Unifying Heterogeneous Evaluation Criteria via Agent Skill

Tao Chen, Gangwei Jiang, Pengyu Cheng +10

Reward models (RMs) provide critical feedback signals for LLM post-training, notably in reinforced fine-tuning (RFT) and reinforcement learning (RL) pipelines. However, current rew…

Eliminating Inductive Bias in Reward Models with Information-Theoretic Guidance

Zhuo Li, Pengyu Cheng, Zhechao Yu +7

Reward models (RMs) are essential in reinforcement learning from human feedback (RLHF) to align large language models (LLMs) with human values. However, RM training data is commonl…

Search Self-play: Pushing the Frontier of Agent Capability without Supervision

Hongliang Lu, Yuhang Wen, Pengyu Cheng +7

Reinforcement learning with verifiable rewards (RLVR) has become the mainstream technique for training LLM agents. However, RLVR highly depends on well-crafted task queries and cor…
