Learning to Optimize through Solver-Grounded Self-Play

Results indicate that with zero curated data, OPT-Zero matches state-of-the-art data-dependent methods while exhibiting substantially stronger generalizability, establishing self-play training as a highly scalable paradigm for advancing LLM reasoning in modeling and solving optimization problems.

Beyond Verified Answers: Solver-Informed Self-Distillation for Bootstrapping Operations Research Language Models

SOLID is proposed, a novel framework for self-improving OR language models without verified answers or external evaluators that improves solution accuracy for both general-purpose and OR-tuned models over outcome-only group-relative training.

Ask Before You Optimize: Dynamic Pre-Formulation Clarification for Interactive Optimization

This work introduces OR-Clarify, a benchmark for pre-formulation clarification and proposes Interactive Optimization (InterOPT), a two-stage framework that identifies unresolved formulation-critical gaps and uses them to guide whether to ask the next question or to stop.

SiLR: Structure-Preserving Admission and Process Reward for LLM Tool Agents

A runtime gate for an LLM tool agent is usually cast as a filter. In a ReAct loop a rejected proposal is followed by another at the same state, so the gate is a search operator over the proposal stream whose admission criterion shapes which trajectories are reachable. We study post-violation recovery admission, where p...

Coverage, Not Targeting: A Structural Regime in Multi-Turn Agent Credit Assignment

Multi-turn agentic RL increasingly treats credit assignment as a targeting problem: given a terminal verifiable reward, per-turn methods localize credit onto the turns that mattered. We identify the structural quantity that predicts when this is the right move, the verifier information density V_d = k/C (the fraction o...

Certified Speculative Execution for Untrusted AI Agents

Hard-constrained sequential decision systems have no certified way to spend the test-time compute of modern AI: executing the multi-step drafts of a learned policy or a frozen LLM forfeits the feasibility guarantee a trusted solver provides, while invoking the solver at every step forfeits the speed the AI offers. Cert...
