Why do RLVR skills transfer? Lack of rigorous theory in model training
voooooogel · x · 2026-08-31
The author posted a question board about model training theory that remains unanswered. The main confusion is that while explanations like "chunky post training" exist, they don't fully justify why RLVR (Reinforcement Learning from Verification Rewards) skills should transfer to fuzzy, deployment-like domains at all. We have vague ideas but lack good theories for these phenomena.
