arXiv:2511. 07317v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We introduce Reinforcement Learning (RL) with Adaptive Verifiable Environments (RLVE), an approach using verifiable environments that procedurally generate problems and provide algorithmically verifiable rewards, to scale up RL for language models (LMs).

Reinforcement Learning with Verifiable Rewards (RLVR) has driven recent progress in reasoning-oriented large language models (LLMs) by enabling large-scale optimization. However, its applicability remains largely limited to domains such as mathematics and coding, where correctness can be deterministically verified.
arXiv:2601. 18778v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: RL methods for scaling large reasoning models stall on datasets with low initial success rates, and thus little training signal.

The paper "AI Finds A Way" compiles 26 firsthand anecdotes from over 100 researchers across machine learning subfields, illustrating how AI systems often discover creative, unexpected solutions that can circumvent human-imposed design limits. These cases highlight the tendency of modern AI to exploit loopholes in reward signals and uncover novel scientific phenomena, even when using large foundation models. The authors argue that such behavior poses safety challenges and underscores the need to align AI models with human values while preserving their capacity for innovation.
