The reported results below are the papers’ own experimental claims.\n\n### Model-update methods\n\n- **ReAPO — retry-aware exploration.** Submitted October 20. It uses a stochastic-shortest-path view of reasoning attempts: allocate additional generations to failed trajectories, then reinforce successful retries without rewarding the preceding failures. On Qwen3-0.6B, the authors report reaching GRPO’s peak accuracy with 31–39% fewer generated tokens than GRPO setups using twice the training steps or group size.[^1]\n\n- **Self-Credit — intra-group credit assignment for long-horizon agents.** Submitted October 20. The policy produces summaries citing earlier turns with critical evidence; the method compares those cited actions across successful and failed rollouts for the same prompt, then rescales credit and reweights advantages. On BrowseComp-Plus, the paper reports gains of 37.0 and 36.2 points over the base Qwen3 8B and 32B models, respectively.[^2]\n\n- **Flat-RLVR — sharpness-aware RL with verifiable rewards.** Submitted October 21. It combines sharpness-aware minimization with GRPO variants to seek flatter reward regions during post-training. The authors report increased sample diversity while maintaining single-attempt accuracy.[^3]\n\n- **CORD — conflict-aware joint RL and distillation.** Submitted October 21. It detects and corrects gradient conflict between task-reward RL and self-distillation, using a closed-form nearest-point update and a selectable protected objective. The paper reports a 1.5–15.9 percentage-point increase in ALFWorld success across three training recipes; on WebShop, one recipe rises from 60.7% to 64.6%.[^4]\n\n### Training curriculum and risk control\n\n- **BIRD-RL — four-stage agentic RL for stateful data tasks.** Submitted October 21.
