arXiv:2601. 08097v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Reward modeling is essential for aligning large language models with human preferences, yet predominant architectures rely on a static pooling strategy to condense sequences into scalar scores.

R3 is a new reward modeling framework that addresses limitations in current reward models by being rubric‑agnostic and generalizable across multiple evaluation dimensions. It provides interpretable, reasoned score assignments rather than opaque scalar outputs, enhancing transparency and flexibility in evaluating language models. The authors release their models, data, and code openly at https://github.com/rubricreward/r3.
