EvoRS: On-Policy Self-Evolution of Reward Systems for Open-Ended Reinforcement Learning

Open-ended reinforcement learning often relies on rubric-based rewards for tasks without directly verifiable answers. Yet the policy and reward system form a dynamic feedback loop: as the policy optimizes the current reward, an initially useful reward system may become unreliable due to reward hacking or reduced respon...

CAST: Game Solvers as Turn-Level Teachers for LLM Agents

CAST (Credit Assignment from Solver Teachers), which converts value changes in a game solver's state value into solver advantages and injects them into RLVR as turn-level signals and achieves the highest average zero-shot performance on ALFWorld and WebShop.

Verify Smarter, Evolve Further: Efficient Harness Evolution through Behavior-Aware Verification

HarnessLens is introduced, a budget-aware framework for automated harness evolution that jointly explores the task space and user-configurable components, derives candidate modifications from execution trajectories, and selectively verifies each candidate on behavior-relevant tasks using an attributable-evidence gate.

From Solvers to Research: Large Language Model-Driven Formal Mathematics at the Research Frontier

It is argued that the next leap in AI4Math systems requires a decisive shift from predefined problem-solvers to research agents that can address frontier mathematical challenges with rigorous formal mathematical reasoning, highlighting core limitations of existing systems in serving as mathematical research agents.
