The problem with using SaaS vendors with their own AI solutions is that their incentives are to use cheap models, as little reasoning as possible & to stick with outdated prompting & RAG strategies than updating them as AI improves Not all vendors succumb to temptation, many do.”” / X https://x.com/emollick/status/1965204136984805399

AI Agents suck at long-horizon tasks. AgentGym-RL aims to train strong LLM agents with long-horizon capabilities. Finds that post-training and test-time compute scale better than model size alone for agentic tasks. Leads to 7B models that beat much larger systems.

What if you kept asking an LLM to “”make it better””? In some recent work at FAIR, we investigate how we can efficiently use RL to fine-tune LLMs to iteratively self-improve on their previous solutions at inference-time.
