Self-Retrospection Distillation: Turning Post-hoc Experiences into Prior Foresight

Reinforcement learning with verifiable rewards (RLVR) turns agent experience into learning signals primarily through scalar outcome rewards after interaction. For group-relative objectives, however, this signal vanishes when all rollouts receive the same reward, even though their trajectories may reveal useful informat...

CURIO: Curiosity-Driven Test-Time Learning for Open-Ended Discovery

Open-ended discovery requires learning from repeated attempts while continuing to explore directions whose value is not yet apparent. Search with a frozen large language model (LLM) can reuse previous solutions in context, but cannot update the model from its successes and failures on the test problem. Reinforcement le...

HERA: Harness-Environment Co-Evolution for Reliable Agentic Abstention

Large language model (LLM) agents are increasingly capable of acting in complex tool-use environments, yet they often fail to recognize when tasks are infeasible and no valid solution exists. Recent work has formalized this reliability gap as the problem of agentic abstention, and existing approaches typically optimize...

Spurious Tool Use: When RL Agents Learn the Wrong Reason to Act

A dense, decision-level reward is introduced in which an LLM judge evaluates the necessity of each tool call, which effectively suppresses cue-driven tool use while preserving task performance, providing a practical approach to improving the robustness of LLM agent tool-use policies.
