RLPF: Reinforcement Learning from Performance Feedback for Code Generation

This work proposes RLPF, reinforcement learning from performance feedback, which turns execution outcomes into a staged reward, and suggests that code agents can be trained not only to pass tests, but also to optimize the programs they write.

Learning to Refine Specifications for Code Generation

This work proposes a novel Reinforcement Learning from AI Feedback (RLAIF) framework, finding that specifications can be iteratively refined by leveraging feedback from the LLM's own outputs, creating a self-improving loop.

Latent Programming Horizons in Coding Agents

It is shown that the residual streams of language models under coding agents linearly encode properties of the evolving program: a logistic-regression probe on hidden states is able to decode whether the current code parses, passes its test suite, reduces the number of failing tests, and introduces regressions.

Learning Generalizable Behaviors for Terminal Agents

River, a simple training recipe that improves reward quality by filtering low-quality environments and augmenting outcome rewards with process-level behavior regularization is proposed, which achieves the best performance among evaluated open-source RL-trained 8B models across four terminal-agent benchmarks.

DHRCL:Training Code LLMs with Dense Hierarchical Rewards and Curriculum Learning

DHRCL decomposes feedback into syntax validation, execution success, unit-test pass rate, and AST-based structural similarity, and organizes these signals through a three-stage Syntax, Execution, Pass&Structural curriculum, and introduces stage-aware probability-based token credit redistribution.

Self-Supervised Skill Optimization

Self-Supervised Skill Optimization (SSO) is introduced, a comparative framework that learns a reusable skill from unlabeled task instances alone and outperforms existing GT-free prompt optimizers on both closed-ended and open-ended tasks.
