Multi-agent large language models solve complex tasks by coordinating several policies in a shared environment. However, existing reinforcement learning methods usually optimize each response or trajectory separately, even when several outputs jointly cause one state transition. Consequently, the update unit differs from the action executed by the system. To address this problem, we propose SRPO (Setwise Relative Policy Optimization), which treats the active set the minimal set of outputs consumed by one transition, as one multi-agent action. Specifically, SRPO combines member log-ratios into one cardinality-normalized set ratio, assigns one relative advantage, and clips the set once. This formulation unifies division of labor and joint co-evolution as actions with different set sizes. Experiments on mathematical reasoning and multi-turn search demonstrate one training interface for fixed, mixed, and dynamically routed workflows across four model scales, with the strongest macro-average results among the reported comparisons. Optimization diagnostics further characterize its stability under different event reductions and set sizes.

LLM-based agents are increasingly deployed in real-world applications through tool-use APIs, yet training them for specific environments remains fundamentally difficult: real-world applications provide no pre-defined tasks or verifiers, no faithful simulators, and limited budget for large-scale environment interaction. In this paper, we propose \textbf{AgentBrew}, an offline training framework that learns effective tool-use policies from a single batch of raw interaction trajectories, without task verifiers or iterative on-policy rollouts. The agent first explores the target environment to collect a raw trajectory corpus without quality filtering. To extract training signal from this noisy corpus, \emph{retrospective task inference} reconstructs an aligned instruction for each trajectory based on its actual outcome, and \emph{PMI-Based credit assignment} decomposes the trajectory's total information about the inferred instruction into additive per-action credits via pointwise mutual information (PMI). These credits weight the policy training objective, amplifying informative actions while suppressing ineffective ones. On three real-world MCP applications (GitHub, Notion, PostgreSQL), AgentBrew improves Qwen3-32B by +8.7 Acc / +9.7 Score on average, surpassing Qwen3-235B (+2.3 / +4.4) and outperforming rejection sampling (+5.9 / +10.3). These results demonstrate that fine-grained offline learning can recover useful supervision from raw trajectories that filtering-based approaches would discard.

Progress-conditioned Group Policy Optimization is proposed, which uses first-visit observation coverage only when all samples in a group receive zero outcome reward, and consistently improves over group-based baselines, with particularly large gains on hard tasks.
