willcb: inverse RL ideas like PRIME set for resurgence on non-verifiable tasks
willcb · x · 2026-10-12
Responding to a question on designing RL for high-performance code, willcb argues that inverse RL ideas like PRIME (and RLHF) are most useful where judgment data exists but the exact reward function is hard to write down. He expects a resurgence soon for more non-verifiable tasks.
