LVRL redistributes sparse task outcomes into step-level credit for long-horizon agents. It uses a frozen language model to score completed trajectories in hindsight, conditioning on same-task peer runs, and anchors estimates to group success rates and observed final rewards. On BabyAI’s OOD layouts, Qwen3-8B reaches 65.5% ± 3.0% success, while GRPO and PPO each reach 0.0%.
