StepPRM-RTL: Stepwise Process-Reward Guided LLM Fine-Tuning for Enhanced RTL Synthesis

arXiv:2606. 04246v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Automatic generation of RTL code for digital hardware designs remains challenging due to long-horizon reasoning, multi-step dependencies, and strict correctness constraints in Verilog and VHDL.

DORA: A Scalable Asynchronous Reinforcement Learning System for Language Model Training

arXiv:2604. 26256v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Reinforcement learning (RL) has become a critical paradigm for LLM post-training, yet the rollout phase -- accounting for 50--80% of total step time -- is bottlenecked by skewed generation: long-tailed trajectories indispensable for model performance block the entire training pipeline.

Where Should RL Post-Training Compute Go? Model Size, Search, Learning, and Feedback

arXiv:2607. 13389v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Reinforcement Learning (RL) post-training is increasingly used to adapt foundation models for reasoning, planning, and feedback-driven robot-learning pipelines, but constrained post-training resources are often summarized by a single total FLOP budget.
