RRPO: Reference-Relative Policy Optimization with Stratified Conditional Rollouts

Yuxin Xiong, Xunyi Jiang, Rohan Surana, Xintong Li, Sheldon Yu, Nikki Lijing Kuang, et al.

Group Relative Policy Optimization (GRPO) has shown strong effectiveness in reinforcement learning from verifiable feedback, where sampled rollouts can be compared within a group using task-provided correctness signals. However, extending group-relative optimization beyond verifi…

Can We Break LLMs Out of Self-Loops? Fine-Grained Reasoning Control with Activation Steering

Sheldon Yu, Tong Yu, Xunyi Jiang, Rohan Surana, Gagan Mundada, Sungchul Kim, et al.

Extended reasoning has become standard for frontier Large Language Models (LLMs), yet the trajectories these models produce remain largely uncontrollable. Existing methods for shaping how a model reasons are prompt based approaches and operate at the input level, offering no fine…
