arXiv:2509. 02522v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Recent advances in Reinforcement Learning with Verifiable Rewards (RLVR) have empowered large language models (LLMs) to tackle challenging reasoning tasks such as mathematics and programming, however existing RLVR methods often suffer from sparse reward signals and unstable policy gradient updates inherent to RL-based approaches.

The paper introduces SPACE, a method for enabling large language model agents to emit variable-length action chunks in long-horizon tasks. By distilling chunk-boundary supervision from programmatic skills derived from successful trajectories, SPACE overcomes the tendency of agents to either act one step at a time or commit to overly long sequences. Experiments on ALFWorld and ScienceWorld demonstrate that SPACE raises success rates by 7.0%–31.3% and cuts LLM decision rounds by up to 78.9%.

Large language model (LLM) agents for long-horizon interactive tasks typically follow a ReAct-style protocol, issuing one primitive action per LLM round. While this enables frequent replanning, it is...
