Value model predicts task duration and tool calls for advantage calculation
cephaloform · x · 2026-08-18
The post details a value model mechanism where the model estimates expected performance, duration, and tool call count based on relevant previous task rewards. These factors feed into the reward calculation. The core algorithm uses the standard RL formula: advantage = realized reward - value estimation.
