Seeing Before Colliding: Anticipatory Safe RL with Frozen Vision-Language Models

Read the original on arXiv Machine Learning →

arXiv:2606. 11266v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The cost signal that constrained-RL algorithms optimize against is almost always reactive: the simulator emits a non-zero cost only after a collision has begun, and the Lagrange multiplier of PPO-Lagrangian grows only after the episode budget has been exceeded.

Operator Packages, Proposer Strength, and Construction-Family Plateaus in Office-Scale Verified Search

The paper reports on a large‑scale verified search experiment using a 30B language model on a laptop, evaluating three operator packages—schematic notebooks, named obstacles, and behavioural repulsion—in a factorial design across nine construction problems. Results show that the full composition of operators closes the seed‑to‑record gap more effectively than any single component, increases construction‑hash diversity, and that memory plus repulsion consistently avoids collapse. A frontier proposer achieves similar gains in far fewer samples, but the search ultimately stalls near a plateau where the reference family is adopted and optimized only when provided as code.
