arXiv:2609.37633v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: The common paradigm of reinforcement learning with verifiable rewards (RLVR) is to let agents make multiple attempts at a task, and optimize towards the successful ones. This becomes problematic in the realms of self-improvement, where tasks are so difficult that the agent has a low or even no chance of success, and where there are no teacher models or example solutions to distill from. In this paper, we introduce RLTLDR. After each failed attempt, we show the policy the verifier outputs and let it write its own feedback, in the form of a single TL;DR insight. The next rollout is conditioned on all previous insights, and we sequentially sample rollouts until a solution is found. Moreover, we enable backpropagation on the in-context insights to internalize a direct task to insight mapping. On challenging tool-calling and coding datasets (filtered to Pass@128=0), standard GRPO training of a Qwen 3.5 9B Thinking policy stays flat at a Pass@1 of 0% to 1%. RLTLDR breaks through this learning barrier, achieving a Pass@1 of 14-31% with insights in context during training and, crucially, 12-13% when no insight is in context at eval time. We identify that the key is the task to insight internalization. To study this further, we reduce our approach to SFTLDR, training only on (task, insight) tuples, without showing or backpropagating on any rollouts. Training on only 4k of these tuples recovers almost the full performance of RLTLDR and classical SFT on full rollouts. This demonstrates a promising compacted training paradigm of the form "on this sort of task, keep this sort of thing in mind", which we hope to inspire future research on.
