Agentic Reinforcement Learning with Observation-Calibrated Self-Distillation

arXiv:2608. 04788v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large language model agents are commonly trained through reinforcement learning with sparse trajectory-level rewards, which offer limited guidance on how strongly individual tokens should be updated.

Agentic Reinforcement Learning with Observation-Calibrated Self-Distillation

Large language model agents are commonly trained through reinforcement learning with sparse trajectory-level rewards, which offer limited guidance on how strongly individual tokens should be updated. On-Policy Self-Distillation (OPSD) addresses this by re-scoring generated tokens under a privileged replay view to obtain dense, token-level supervision.

Verifiable Hidden Dynamics Play: Generating Agentic RL Environments from Solved Mechanisms

The paper introduces VHD-Play, a pipeline that first samples and solves a mathematical model before generating agentic reinforcement learning environments, ensuring that dynamics and evaluation are aligned from the outset. This approach yields 3,300 diverse environments at a low cost and significantly improves the performance of a large language‑model agent (Qwen3.6‑35B‑A3B) across multiple diagnostic families and external benchmarks. The study demonstrates that stateful interaction is a key factor in learning gains and that scaling the training substrate can further enhance performance.

Travel Back To Move Forward: Retrospective Exploration and Evolving for Long Horizon Agents

The paper introduces ReTRAIL, a framework that allows long‑horizon agents to rewind the environment to earlier states while preserving forward progress in knowledge. By training a shared policy with State‑Anchored GRPO and a branch‑advancement reward, ReTRAIL enables agents to recover from unproductive states and reuse insights from abandoned exploration. Experiments on MineSweeper, Sokoban, ALFWorld, and ScienceWorld show that this combined rewinding and experience‑reuse strategy outperforms simple rewind primitives and improves long‑horizon task solving.
