arXiv:2602. 16953v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Execution-aware LLM agents offer a promising paradigm for learning from tool feedback, but such feedback can be expensive and slow to obtain, making online reinforcement learning (RL) less practical in certain scenarios.

The paper introduces Delta, a two‑phase framework for testing deep reinforcement learning agents. In the first phase, the agent under test is evaluated for catastrophic failures while collecting decision‑making data. The second phase trains a challenger agent from this data using offline RL; comparing the challenger’s rewards to the original agent reveals optimality bugs, and Delta successfully uncovered thousands of such issues across multiple environments.

We’re releasing the public beta of OpenAI Gym, a toolkit for developing and comparing reinforcement learning (RL) algorithms. It consists of a growing suite of environments (from simulated robots to Atari games), and a site for comparing and reproducing results.
FairTest is a search-based testing framework designed to uncover fairness failures in Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning (MARL) systems. It guides candidate generation using three fitness functions—measuring observed fairness, predicting fairness from abstract states, and assessing policy decision uncertainty—and prioritizes tests based on predicted fairness and uncertainty. Evaluations on three environments and two MARL algorithms show FairTest detects significantly more fairness failures than three baselines, with a 221% increase in failure count and 23% better coverage on average.

G2MAF is a test‑time refinement framework for offline multi‑agent reinforcement learning that applies a single globally normalized, projected critic gradient to adjust all agents’ actions while keeping them close to a frozen policy proposal. The method improves performance on 24 Multi‑Party Environment (MPE) and StarCraft Multi‑Agent Challenge (SMAC) benchmarks, achieving mean relative gains of 9.2% on MPE and 8.9% on SMAC, with only a 6% increase in inference latency.

arXiv:2604. 09523v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Training reinforcement-learning agents for cyber defense requires an environment that reflects the operational setting: noisy, partial observations, several defenders coordinating across a network, and an adaptive adversary realized through self-play.
