Researchers from Renmin University and BAAI present a comprehensive empirical study of reinforcement learning techniques for enhancing LLM reasoning capabilities, demonstrating dramatic improvements through novel reward engineering and tool manipulation while achieving 86.67% accuracy on AIME 2024 mathematics problems through an innovative combination of RL training and external computation tools.
Key insights
- On-policy learning proves crucial for consistent improvements in reasoning capabilities
- Response length correlates with but doesn't cause performance improvements
- Base models have latent reasoning capabilities that can be activated through RL
- Tool manipulation can be enabled with relatively small amounts of high-quality training data
