ANTE: Anticipate, Then Execute -- Learning Internal World Models for Coding Agents from Verified Beliefs

Rapid advances in large language models have made software engineering agents capable of tackling complex coding tasks. Within a containerized environment, a coding agent receives tool responses or execution results, and determines its later actions by those earlier results. However, most existing coding agents never l...

Reward-Aligned Distillation

Reinforcement learning with verifiable rewards improves the reasoning capabilities of large language models, but remains computationally expensive and sample inefficient. On-policy distillation (OPD) provides dense token-level supervision from a stronger teacher, yet standard OPD distills every token regardless of whet...

Group Adaptive Clipping Policy Optimization

Group Adaptive Clipping Policy Optimization (GAPO), a plug-in modification to GRPO methods that adapts the clipping boundary to the rollout advantage, is proposed, motivated by a reverse-KL trust-region perspective, which suggests that rollouts with larger learning signal should receive proportionally greater update he...

GenRec: An LLM-Backed Recommendation Ranker at Netflix

Results from a large-scale A/B test comparing GenRec against the current production ranker model are reported, where it is shown that a GenRec model trained with substantially fewer Phase-2 labeled training examples and input signals can achieve statistically significant gains in offline and online metrics.
