RL idea: replace pairwise comparison with agent-led groupwise evaluation in a sandbox

stochasticchasm · x · 2026-09-22

stochasticchasm discusses an RL training design: with agents now strong enough, pairwise comparison can be dropped — put all candidates in a single sandbox and let the agent compare and contrast them, optionally with subagents. Combined with verifiable rewards and rubrics to differentiate outputs, you could even add programming-style rubrics.
