LLMs Develop Reasoning via Verifiable Reward Training
In 2025 Andrej Karpathy notes Reinforcement Learning from Verifiable Rewards (RLVR) became the de facto training stage for LLMs, using automatically verifiable rewards across environments such as math and code puzzles. He cites the DeepSeek R1 paper showing models learned stepwise problem-solving and intermediate calculations. The approach produced behaviors that resemble human reasoning, suggesting a scalable way to elicit reasoning skills.
Key Points
- 1Shows RLVR trains LLMs against verifiable rewards across environments like math and code puzzles.
- 2Reveals emergent stepwise problem-solving behaviors resembling human reasoning and intermediate calculation strategies.
- 3Enables practitioners to use evaluation-linked training to induce robust reasoning without explicit supervision.
Scoring Rationale
High novelty and practical applicability drive the score, limited by dependence on a single expert summary rather than peer-reviewed validation.
