CUA-Gym: Scaling Verifiable Training Environments and Tasks for Computer-Use Agents

Researchers introduce CUA-Gym, a scalable pipeline for generating verified training data for computer-use agents through co-generation of task instructions, environment states, and reward functions. The resulting dataset of 32,112 verified training tuples across 110 environments enables AI agents to achieve 62.1-72.6% performance on benchmarks, significantly advancing verifiable reinforcement learning for autonomous computer interaction.

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.

Geo-Strat-RL: Learning Geological Event Reasoning from Verifiable Tasks

Researchers present Geo-Strat-RL, a synthetic environment that trains vision-language models to reason about geological histories through reinforcement learning with verifiable rewards. The system demonstrates that geological reasoning learned from stratigraphic diagrams can transfer to seismic data without domain-specific training, suggesting AI models can learn generalizable geological principles across different observation formats.

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.
