FLARE: A Full-Lifecycle Dense Supervision Paradigm for Long-Horizon Coding Agents via Generative Reward Model

Read the original on arXiv Computation and Language →

FLARE introduces a dense supervision paradigm for long‑horizon coding agents, leveraging a Generative Reward Model (GRM) trained via the RADAR diagnostic framework. The GRM provides real‑time, step‑level risk feedback, enabling FLARE to act as an active scaffold that intercepts high‑risk steps during inference and supplies structured signals for post‑training fine‑tuning and reinforcement learning. Experiments show FLARE outperforms existing methods, achieving a 5× reduction in token consumption and significant performance gains in both supervised fine‑tuning and RL settings.

In-the-Flow Agentic System Optimization for Effective Planning and Tool Use

arXiv:2510. 05592v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Outcome-driven reinforcement learning has advanced reasoning in large language models (LLMs), but prevailing tool-augmented approaches train a single, monolithic policy that interleaves thoughts and tool calls under full context; this scales poorly with long horizons and diverse tools and generalizes weakly to new scenarios.
