AlphaDiverse is a framework that enhances large language model–based multi‑agent systems for alpha factor mining by addressing cost, availability, and confidentiality constraints. It generates diverse research paths through varied environments and post‑training local agents, then fine‑tunes these agents with supervised learning and optimizes them jointly using a GRPO method that balances predictive quality and diversity. The approach limits research feedback to inner‑period data and evaluates a frozen model on outer‑period data to avoid test‑set tuning, demonstrating competitive prediction and broader exploration across four Chinese stock universes.

Automated alpha mining has increasingly adopted large language model (LLM) agents for factor generation and iterative discovery. However, existing LLM-based systems often delegate both factor construction and search decisions to the agent itself, without an explicit exploration space or a principled mechanism for navigating that space.

Alpha‑R1 introduces a reinforcement‑learning aligned large language model framework that performs context‑aware alpha screening by semantically gating candidate factors against a dynamic market state description. The model, trained with group relative policy optimization using realized portfolio returns as reward, selects a sparse subset of factors whose economic rationale matches current market conditions. In a 12‑month out‑of‑sample test, Alpha‑R1 achieved annualized returns of 47.87% on the S&P 500 and 40.57% on the CSI 300, with Sharpe ratios of 1.62 and 2.23, demonstrating the effectiveness of semantic factor reranking in non‑stationary markets.
