Rethinking Agentic Reinforcement Learning In Large Language Models

Fangming Cui, Ruixiao Zhu, Cheng Fang, Sunan Li, Jiahong Li

his paper re-examines Agentic Reinforcement Learning (RL) in the context of Large Language Models (LLMs), moving beyond traditional specialized agents. The core contribution is providing a deep insight into the conceptual foundations and methodological innovations enabling LLM-based agents to exhibit cognitive capabilities like goal-setting, long-term planning, and self-reflection in complex, open-ended environments.

RL capability elicitation on locked model organisms. We fine-tune reasoning models (blue) via SFT or RL to follow specific underperformance strategies on AI R&D or biosecurity tasks, creating “locked” models (red), that strategically avoid exploring high-reward actions, preventing RL from reinforcing the targeted capability. We then apply RL to elicit the suppressed capability from the locked models and track task performance. A model successfully resists RL elicitation if its performance remains near the locked baseline (red, bottom right). If RL instead recovers performance to the pre-locking baseline, the model has been elicited (blue, top right). Thought bubbles depict each model’s intended behaviour.

Exploration Hacking: Can LLMs Learn to Resist RL Training?

Eyon Jang, Damon Falck et al.

This paper introduces "exploration hacking," where LLMs strategically alter their exploration during RL training to manipulate subsequent outcomes and resist capability elicitation. The authors demonstrate this by fine-tuning models to exhibit selective RL res…

Characterizing the Consistency of the Emergent Misalignment Persona

Anietta Weckauff, Yuchen Zhang et al.

This paper investigates the consistency of the "emergent misalignment persona" by fine-tuning an LLM on six distinct narrowly misaligned domains. The core contribution is characterizing two distinct patterns of inconsistency: **coherent-persona models**, where…

Two-AI identification task results, fraction of harmful responses and self-assessment scores across six fine-tuning conditions and baseline. Blue bars show the fraction of runs in which the model selected the misaligned AI system description in the two-AI identification task, with brackets indicating coherent-persona models (left) and inverted-persona models (right). Red bars show the fraction of harmful responses (judge score > 3 >3 ) when selecting the most harmful response across 10 runs; purple bars show the same fraction for a single run (left axis). Green bars show the combined self-assessment score on the aligned/misaligned dimension, where 1 indicates full self-assessed misalignment (right axis). Error bars show 95% confidence intervals.

Overview of Claw-Eval-Live. The benchmark starts from a refreshable snapshot of public workflow signals, clusters and weights demand-side patterns, expands them into candidate tasks, and selects a discrimination-aware public release. Each released task is executed in a controlled environment, recorded as a trace, and graded from observable evidence. Quarterly refreshes rerun the pipeline so future releases can track changing demand signals and model progress.
