Summary

This work presents a model that learns shaped 'process rewards' for robotic reinforcement learning, which evolves automatically as the policy improves, enhancing performance on benchmarks and in real-world settings.

We can learn a model that provides shaped "process rewards" for robotic RL, that evolves automatically as the policy gets better. This improves performance on benchmarks, and works in the real world! Some fun new work with Raymond Tsao & @ajwagenmaker https://t.co/nBYdXwBqbW

EvoTrainer: Co-Evolving LLM Policies and Training Harnesses for Autonomous Agentic Reinforcement Learning

arXiv cs.AI

EvoTrainer introduces an autonomous training framework that co-evolves LLM policies and training harnesses through empirical feedback, outperforming human-engineered RL baselines on mathematical reasoning, code generation, and long-horizon software engineering tasks.

Evolved Policy Gradients

OpenAI Blog

OpenAI introduces Evolved Policy Gradients (EPG), a meta-learning approach that learns loss functions through evolution rather than learning policies directly, enabling RL agents to generalize better across tasks by leveraging prior experience similar to how humans transfer skills.
