The paper introduces fixed‑point flow matching (FFM), a data‑free method for training and fine‑tuning flow policies in reinforcement learning. FFM formulates the actor update as a fixed‑point iteration using a flow‑matching regression objective, where the critic’s action gradients act as targets. Experiments show that FFM can effectively fine‑tune pretrained flow policies in offline‑to‑online scenarios and train flow policies from scratch in online RL, establishing it as a principled approach for learning expressive flow‑based policies without training data.
