A Practitioner's Guide to Multi-turn Agentic Reinforcement Learning
We study what actually works and what doesn't for training large language models as agents via multi-turn reinforcement learning. Despite rapid progress, existing frameworks and definitions are fragme...

To help the community, we're releasing 🐈🍵Meow-Tea-Taro 💜: a modular framework where you can configure 🌎environments, 🤖policies, and ⭐rewards.

We also provide our recipes, analyses, and tutorials on building agentic multi-turn RL pipelines in the codebase.

⭐Reward:

Dense rewards significantly improve multi-turn RL performance, with optimal density varying by RL algorithm.

🤖Policy:

1. Good SFT priors achieve the same performance with fewer RL episodes; however, RL is needed for generalization.
2. Given a fixed compute budget, there's an optimal SFT:RL data ratio.
3. Both PPO/GRPO (biased) and RLOO (unbiased) methods achieve improvements over base models

(🧵2/6) Here are some key takeaways:
🌎Environment:

1. Agents trained on simpler environments can generalize to more complex environments.
2. Agents trained on a subset of tasks can generalize to unseen tasks.
