Instructing LLMs to Negotiate using Reinforcement Learning with Verifiable Rewards

Researchers demonstrate that Reinforcement Learning from Verifiable Rewards (RLVR) can train Large Language Models to negotiate effectively in incomplete-information games like price bargaining. A 30B parameter model trained with this method outperforms frontier models 10x its size and develops sophisticated persuasive strategies while generalizing to unseen negotiation scenarios.

Position: The Hidden Costs and Measurement Gaps of Reinforcement Learning with Verifiable Rewards

Researchers identify systematic measurement flaws in reinforcement learning with verifiable rewards (RLVR) studies, revealing that widely reported performance gains are often inflated by budget mismatches, data contamination, and calibration drift rather than genuine capability improvements. The paper proposes rigorous evaluation standards to properly assess RLVR effectiveness in AI development.

Beyond Binary: Turning Partial Success into Dense Verifiable Rewards for Reinforcement Learning in Code Generation

Researchers introduce VeRPO, a reinforcement learning framework that converts partial test-case successes into dense, verifiable reward signals for code generation tasks. The method achieves up to 8.83% improvement in pass@1 metrics while eliminating the sparse reward problem that plagues traditional test-suite evaluation, offering a practical alternative to computationally expensive reward models.
