FrogNano is a 4B coding agent trained exclusively with reinforcement learning on about 1,500 synthetic software engineering environments. Its training leverages an online task synthesis pipeline that generates tasks at the current agent’s learnability frontier, improving performance without distilling from larger models. The report details the methodology, evaluates the agent across diverse environments, and analyzes its effectiveness as a lightweight coding agent for minimal hardware.

SPADE (Self-Play in Adaptive Synthetic Executable Environments) is a reinforcement‑learning framework where a single large language model acts as both an Environment Designer—creating executable, long‑horizon training environments—and a Reasoning Agent—learning to act within those environments. The framework uses a regret signal based on the difference between rewarded performance with and without privileged hints to guide the Designer toward environments that are challenging yet solvable. Experiments show that, when scaled to 30‑billion‑parameter models, SPADE outperforms fixed‑environment baselines by significant margins across math, science, code, and reasoning benchmarks, and improves tool‑use performance on BFCL‑v4 and ACEBench‑Agent. whyItMatters":"By making environment design a learnable component, SPADE enables continuous self‑improvement and demonstrates that adaptive, self‑generated training environments can substantially boost language‑model performance across diverse tasks."
