ARISE-RL: Agentic Rubric-Grounded Iterative Self-Evolution with Reinforcement Learning

ARISE‑RL is a full‑cycle self‑evolution framework that couples a task/rubric generator with a reasoning solver, enabling open‑ended agents to learn via reinforcement learning without relying on gold answers. The generator creates tool‑grounded rubric criteria and rewards itself for producing valid, intermediate‑difficulty tasks, while the solver improves through fine‑grained rubric satisfaction signals and multi‑step reasoning. The framework also introduces Reward‑Gated Self‑Evolution Distillation to selectively distill memory‑augmented policies, reducing distribution mismatch, and it is evaluated on the new ECR‑Bench rubric suite, achieving state‑of‑the‑art performance across all benchmarks.
