arXiv:2607. 04963v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Reinforcement Learning (RL) is the dominant paradigm for training Large Language Model (LLM) agents on long-horizon tasks.
The paper introduces Bidirectional Behavior Prior Distillation (B2PD), a method that uses action‑value priors to train a conditional variational autoencoder for generating high‑value behavior support. These expert behavior priors are then distilled into the online reinforcement learning agent, reducing inefficient exploration and stabilizing policy updates. Experiments on state‑ and pixel‑based tasks show that B2PD improves sample efficiency while maintaining stable learning dynamics.
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.

arXiv:2607. 27973v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Recently, Reinforcement Learning (RL) has emerged as a crucial paradigm for the post-training of Large Language Model (LLM) agents.
EmbodiedMind introduces a three-stage training paradigm for embodied foundation models that tackles inefficient sample use, task imbalance, and credit assignment in long-horizon planning. The stages—Rejection Sampling-based Fine‑Tuning, Iterative Rejection GRPO, and Trie‑GRPO—filter low‑informative data, balance task difficulty, and use action prefix trees for step‑level advantage estimation. This approach yields a state‑of‑the‑art average performance of 70.02% across 18 benchmarks, notably improving long‑horizon task planning accuracy.
