arXiv:2606. 00257v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Token-level credit assignment for language-model reinforcement learning is usually formulated as if the policy were fully trainable, while practical LLM-RL pipelines often rely on parameter-efficient fine-tuning, especially LoRA.

arXiv:2606. 05434v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Group Relative Policy Optimisation (GRPO) has emerged as an effective reinforcement-learning algorithm for aligning language models on reasoning tasks, but it treats every token position and every sampled rollout symmetrically.

The paper introduces TASPO, a method that transforms privileged information (PI) into outcome‑grounded action credit for language‑model agents. TASPO constructs decision‑applicable PI from verified successful experience, aggregates PI‑induced likelihood shifts at the executable‑action level, and converts relative action support into positive, bounded, mean‑preserving weights on the original trajectory advantage. Experiments on three agentic benchmarks show TASPO improves over GRPO by 10.6% and generalizes better to unseen tasks, while reducing supervision mismatch and stabilizing policy optimization.

Agentic reinforcement learning (RL) has become a critical stage in the post-training of large language models. Existing critic-free, group-relative methods estimate policy advantages from multiple rollouts, avoiding the substantial memory overhead of conventional proximal policy optimization (PPO) and achieving strong performance on long-horizon interactive tasks.
