ROME's IPA assigns RL credit at chunk level, not token level, for tool-use agents

The ROME team introduced IPA (Interaction-Perceptive Agentic Policy Optimization):
- Assigns RL credit at the chunk level instead of token level
- Rationale: tokens are too fine, full trajectories too coarse — chunks align with actual tool-use semantics
This is presented as the unexpected breakthrough behind the model's agentic performance.
