Multi-turn RL with Structural and Performance Aware Rewards for CUDA Kernel Generation

Read the original on Hugging Face Trending Papers →

Reinforcement Learning with Verifiable Rewards (RLVR) has emerged as a powerful technique to enhance the reasoning capacity of LLMs for optimized code generation. However, existing RLVR approaches primarily rely on outcome-based signals such as correctness and speedup, overlooking performance-critical structural properties of programs that are essential for generating optimized code.
