Reinforcement Learning Foundation Models Should Already Be A Thing

Researchers propose that reinforcement learning foundation models should be developed using synthetic MDPs (Markov Decision Processes) as training data, similar to how TabPFN uses synthetic data for tabular prediction. A Graph Attention Network trained entirely on synthetic MDPs demonstrates strong performance on both online and offline RL benchmarks without task-specific tuning, suggesting this approach is viable.

The Sim-to-Real Gap of Foundation Model Agents: A Unified MDP Perspective

Researchers propose formalizing the evaluation of foundation model agents through a classical sim-to-real framework based on Markov Decision Processes, addressing the gap between simulated training and real-world deployment. The work advocates adopting established robotics solutions like domain randomization and establishing standardized benchmarks to build more reliable AI agents for production applications.

Large Language Models for Sequential Decision-Making: Improving In-Context Learning via Supervised Fine-Tuning

Researchers demonstrate that large language models can be effectively fine-tuned to perform sequential decision-making tasks across MDPs, POMDPs, and ambiguous environments by learning from offline trajectory data. The approach achieves stronger performance than baseline methods, particularly in complex, partially-observed scenarios, with theoretical analysis showing the fine-tuned attention mechanisms implicitly estimate optimal Q-functions.
