Agnostics is a language‑agnostic post‑training pipeline that uses reinforcement learning with verifiable rewards (RLVR) to improve large language models on low‑resource programming languages. By rewriting unit‑test datasets into a language‑independent I/O format, providing a short configuration for compiling and running code, and employing a single verifier that judges code by observable behavior, Agnostics eliminates the need for language‑specific engineering. Applied to Lua, Julia, R, OCaml, and Fortran, it boosts Qwen‑3 4B to rival larger models, scales to diverse families, and achieves new state‑of‑the‑art pass@1 on MultiPL‑E and a new multi‑language LiveCodeBench.

SLMFix is a code‑generation pipeline that uses a small language model fine‑tuned with reinforcement learning to correct syntactic errors in programs produced by large language models for domain‑specific languages. The approach relies on interpreter feedback to guide the error‑fixing process. Experiments show that SLMFix improves validator pass rates by 40% on low‑resource programming languages and removes over 50% of syntactic errors on high‑resource DSLs, outperforming supervised fine‑tuning even for 7B models.

arXiv:2605. 15607v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) achieve high pass rates on code generation benchmarks, yet whether they can transfer this ability to languages absent from pretraining remains poorly understood.
