J-Zero introduces a unified Challenger–Solver–Judge co‑evolution framework that enables self‑improvement of language models without requiring external supervision. The Challenger generates increasingly difficult tasks, the Solver learns to produce better responses, and the Judge adapts using preference pairs derived from the Solver’s own outputs rather than from its own scores. Experiments show J‑Zero outperforms baselines by an average of 4.2 points on verifiable tasks and 8.0 points on unverifiable tasks, maintaining improvement over ten iterations while baselines degrade after two.
J-Zero introduces a unified Challenger–Solver–Judge self‑evolution framework that operates without any initial data. The Challenger and Solver co‑evolve through adversarial task generation and response improvement, while the Judge adapts using known preference pairs derived from the Solver’s outputs rather than its own scores. Experiments show J‑Zero surpasses baselines by 4.2 points on verifiable tasks and 8.0 points on unverifiable tasks, maintaining improvement over ten iterations versus baseline degradation after two.
Aligning large language models to human-centered objectives is difficult when targets are non-executable and context-dependent, limiting reliable verification and scalable supervision. Although synthe...
