First Make It Playable, Then Make It Good: Staged Interaction Learning for Small Dialogue-Game Agents

The paper introduces Qwen-GuidePlay-2B, a 2B‑parameter language model fine‑tuned for dialogue‑game interaction. The training pipeline consists of three stages: supervised fine‑tuning on successful game trajectories, weighted turn‑level fine‑tuning, and teacher‑guided fine‑tuning that corrects formatting and evaluates examples. The resulting model achieves a clemscore of 57.12 and a statscore of 42.68 on Playpen’s public validation, ranking second in the official challenge and demonstrating that careful curation can outperform more aggressive procedural methods.
