Achieving strong optimization generalization across diverse optimization problems while requiring limited training resources remains a challenging problem for optimization-oriented large language models (LLMs). Existing approaches typically rely on large-scale supervised datasets, costly reasoning annotations, and expensive intermediate step verification, resulting in substantial training overhead.

arXiv:2607. 16205v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Reinforcement learning with verifiable rewards has emerged as a standard approach for enhancing reasoning in large language models, which typically optimizes the policy by contrasting multiple self generated rollouts.
The paper introduces APIVIS, a training-time framework that integrates finite-budget Gumbel search into reinforcement learning with verifiable rewards (RLVR) for mathematical reasoning. APIVIS combines direct and searched responses within each rollout group, uses selective supervision on search-improved tokens, and applies value-guided selection to improve verifier rewards at each searched state. Experiments on standard mathematical reasoning benchmarks and various model scales show significant performance gains over existing search-based methods.
arXiv:2508. 10123v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Advanced reasoning in LLMs on challenging domains like mathematical reasoning can be tackled using verifiable rewards based reinforced fine-tuning (ReFT).
The paper introduces POISE, a reinforcement learning algorithm that uses a model’s internal states as a value estimator to reduce variance in reinforcement learning with verifiable rewards (RLVR). By employing a lightweight probe that reads internal signals during the forward pass, POISE predicts baselines online and uses a cross‑rollout construction to keep gradients unbiased. Experiments on Qwen3‑4B and OLMo3‑7B‑Instruct‑DPO across six domains show POISE outperforms existing RLVR baselines, offering more stable training and a value model that generalizes across tasks and scales with the policy.
InternBootcamp is an open‑source framework that offers over 1,000 domain‑diverse task environments for large language model (LLM) reasoning research. It introduces Bootcamp‑Eval, an automatically generated benchmark for comprehensive performance assessment. Experiments show that training on InternBootcamp significantly improves reasoning performance, with a 32B model achieving state‑of‑the‑art results on Bootcamp‑Eval and other established benchmarks, demonstrating that scaling the number of training tasks yields consistent gains.

ConsensusBench is a new dataset that supplies rule‑based process‑level signals for large language model reasoning. It identifies key intermediate conclusions—called Consensus Nodes—by filtering correct trajectories and clustering semantically equivalent statements. By incorporating a process reward derived from these nodes into GRPO‑style reinforcement learning, the authors create ConsensusPR, which reduces reward sparsity and improves performance on benchmarks such as AIME, GSM8K, and MATH‑500.
GRIP (Granular Reward-guided Interpolation of Parameters) is a lightweight framework that blends a reasoning-oriented large language model with an instruction-tuned model by assigning learnable interpolation ratios to individual modules. The ratios are optimized while keeping both source models frozen, using a reward signal that prefers correct and concise responses. Experiments demonstrate that GRIP improves the accuracy-efficiency trade-off compared to fixed or search-based merging baselines and uncover module-wise fusion patterns linked to efficient reasoning.
