RLVR's real value lies in learning solution classes impossible in a single forward pass

In a discussion with Herbie Bradley and mentalgeorge, 1a3orn argues RLVR matters for two reasons: (1) it lets models devote variable compute per problem, and (2) it enables learning classes of solutions impossible in a single forward pass. He contends (2) matters more — without it, RLVR would be 'only' as impactful as MoE, mixture-of-depths, or other forms of conditional compute.
