CLPO: Curriculum Learning meets Policy Optimization for LLM Reasoning

arXiv:2509. 25004v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Online reinforcement learning with verifiable rewards (RLVR) has become an effective paradigm for improving the reasoning abilities of large language models, but most methods still optimize reasoning trajectories over the static problem set, wasting rollout budget on solved or overly difficult problems.

Representation-Based Exploration for Language Models: From Test-Time to Post-Training

arXiv:2510. 11686v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Reinforcement learning (RL) promises to expand the capabilities of language models, but it is unclear if current RL techniques promote the discovery of novel behaviors, or simply sharpen those already present in the base model.

Scaling Self-Play with Self-Guidance

arXiv:2604. 20209v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: LLM self-play algorithms are notable in that, in principle, nothing bounds their learning: a Conjecturer model creates problems for a Solver, and both improve together.

Self-Improving Large Language Models via Progressive Experience Evolution

arXiv:2608. 02139v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) capable of self-improvement require not only effective policy optimization, but also a principled mechanism for transforming transient interaction experience into persistent model capabilities.
