Long-horizon large language model (LLM) agents are typically optimized with sparse terminal outcomes, making fine-grained credit assignment across multi-step interactions difficult. Existing approache...
The paper introduces the Implicit Prefix-Value Reward Model (IPVRM), which learns the probability of eventual correctness for each prefix directly from outcome labels, thereby aligning training targets with inference-time step signals via temporal-difference differences. IPVRM improves step-verification F1 on ProcessBench. Additionally, the authors propose Distribution-Level RL (DistRL), a policy optimization method that applies TD advantages to both sampled and high-probability tokens, offering dense counterfactual updates without extra rollouts, and show that DistRL consistently enhances downstream reasoning when combined with IPVRM.
