LoGRA cuts LLM RL training memory up to 45.7% using low-rank gradient sketches
LoGRA compresses gradients into low-rank sketches during RL post-training of large language models, reducing memory use by up to 45.7% without hurting accuracy and enabling stable training of a 27B-parameter model on eight GPUs where dense Adam fails.

Trace2Env simulates environments from interaction traces without original systems
Trace2Env reconstructs environment knowledge from historical interaction traces into a structured worldbook and uses an agentic language world model to simulate faithful, stateful environment responses, improving next-observation fidelity and long-horizon consistency across nine environments.

Recursive Self-Rewrite improves model task-solving by rewriting multi-harness trajectories
Recursive Self-Rewrite (RSR) uses a single model to collect successful task solutions under diverse execution harnesses, then rewrites these trajectories into a general harness format for supervised finetuning, boosting pass@3 rates by up to 20.8 points on complex benchmarks.
