V4.1's Reasoning Curve Isn't Linear; Agent Teams Explicitly RL-Trained to Collaborate
nrehiew_ · x · 2026-09-11
Continuing his V4.1 breakdown, nrehiew notes the reasoning-performance plot is not fully linear (unlike FrontierCode's code-quality penalties, these three benches seem to lack similar penalties), and that the Agent team mode is explicitly trained with an RL reward combining task performance, a collaboration bonus for delegation and inter-agent communication, and a latency penalty for efficient coordination.
