Learning to Build the Environment: Self-Evolving Reasoning RL via Verifiable Environment Synthesis

Dimensions overall score 3.0

• This paper proposes a self-improving language model vision where models construct their own training environments, focusing on stable solve-verify asymmetry for continuous improvement. In zero-data reasoning RL, this reframes self-improvement from a data-generation loop into an environment-construction loop, where each artifact is a reusable executable object that samples instances, computes references, and scores responses.problem 35%
