Failure-prefix conditioning unlocks learning from saturated reasoning problems by conditioning on failure prefixes, improving recovery from misleading early steps and matching gains from new medium-difficulty problems.
Proposes MaxPO using a Leave-Two-Out baseline for centered unbiased advantages in max@K policy gradients, with a unified derivation of finite-batch estimators.
OGPO enables sample-efficient full-finetuning of generative control policies via off-policy critics and modified PPO, achieving SOTA on robot manipulation tasks while rescuing poorly initialized behavior cloning policies without expert data.
A parameter-free sampling strategy called CUTS combined with Mixed-CUTS training prevents mode collapse in RL for saturated LLM reasoning tasks and raises AIME25 Pass@1 accuracy by up to 15.1% over standard GRPO.
Flow matching critics outperform monolithic ones in RL by 2x performance and 5x sample efficiency via test-time error recovery through integration and multi-point velocity supervision that preserves feature plasticity.
