Rollout-Time Intervention: Unlocking Agentic Reinforcement Learning Beyond Policy Limits

Reinforcement learning (RL) has emerged as a key paradigm for improving large language model (LLM) agents, enabling stronger reasoning, planning, and tool-use in interactive environments. However, existing agent RL methods remain fundamentally constrained by an on-policy reasoning bottleneck: when tasks exceed the mode...

Two-Fidelity Best-Action Identification for Stochastic Minimax Tree

2FFS is proposed, a two-fidelity tree-search algorithm that brings multi-fidelity flat bandit ideas into trees and proves fixed-confidence correctness, establish finite stopping for exact identification, and give a polynomial-depth cost upper bound for general-depth trees.

CHART: A Harness-Rotation Curriculum for Harness-Robust Search Agents

Search agents are usually trained under a single harness. But once an agent is deployed in a real application, its harness is frequently updated (e.g., a rewritten system prompt) to fit production needs. This exposes a fragility of post-trained agents: because a learned behavior is entangled with its training harness,...

ArenaFlow: From Trajectory Ranking to Hierarchical Credit Propagation for Open-Ended Agent RL

This work proposes ArenaFlow, a hierarchical credit propagation framework for open-ended agent reinforcement learning that leverages tournament-based relative ranking to derive trajectory-level reward signals and propagates trajectory-level advantages to high-confidence pivotal steps according to tournament survival de...

A Zeroth-Order Paradigm for LLM Preference Alignment

This paper proposes and analyzes Comparison-based Preference Optimization (ComPO), a zeroth-order alignment method based on comparison oracles, and establishes a convergence guarantee for its basic offline scheme under smoothness, gradient sparsity, and compatibility between the oracle and a latent objective.

ARISE-RL: Agentic Rubric-Grounded Iterative Self-Evolution with Reinforcement Learning

ARISE-RL, a novel full-cycle self-evolution framework that couples a task/rubric Generator and a reasoning Solver through rubric-mediated co-evolution, is proposed and ECR-Bench, an expert-calibrated rubric benchmark suite covering single-tool deep research and multi-tool travel planning is presented.
