MagicBeanStalk: Escaping the RLVR Zero Advantage Trap with Recursive Data Synthesis

Data-centric scaling of RLVR has focused on collecting or generating verifiable training problems. However, corpus size alone does not determine whether the dataset provides a useful learning signal for a target policy. To guide the synthesis of effective RLVR data, we experimentally characterize dataset effectiveness...

LoGRA: Scaling LLM Reinforcement Learning with Low-Rank Gradient Sketches

Reinforcement learning has greatly advanced the capabilities of large language models, but its memory demands remain a barrier to broader adoption. We introduce LoGRA, an approach to RL post-training that reduces memory by retaining useful learning signals in low-rank gradient sketches. These compact representations su...

PivotOPD: Learning to Recover from Pivotal Mistakes in Multi-Turn Agents

On-policy distillation (OPD) is a promising approach for training language agents, providing dense teacher supervision on student-generated trajectories. However, in multi-turn interaction, an incorrect action changes the states the student encounters later, so errors compound across turns. In preliminary experiments a...

OSWorld-Pro: Process-based Evaluation for Computer Use Agents

Evaluation of Computer-Use Agents (CUAs) is often limited to the final deliverables they create (at the end of hundreds of steps) and assessed with functional verifiers, as seen in OSWorld. However, such evaluation of end-state performance lacks transparency into how and why agents fail in various tasks, obfuscating cr...

Molt: A Scalable PyTorch-Native Training Framework for Agentic Reinforcement Learning

Molt is a PyTorch-native training framework built to keep that cost small: a codebase compact and clean enough for a researcher to hold in their head, and for an AI coding assistant to read and reason about in its entirety, so the algorithm flow can be traced and changed end to end.
