Entropy-preserving reinforcement learning

ICLR 2026poster

Policy gradient algorithms have been a driver of much recent advancement in language model reasoning. One of their most appealing properties is the ability to learn from exploration on their own trajectories, a process crucial for discovering diverse approaches and fostering creative solutions. As w…

Robust Autonomy Emerges from Self-Play

ICML 2025poster

Self-play has powered breakthroughs in two-player and multi-player games. Here we show that self-play is a surprisingly effective strategy in another domain. We show that robust and naturalistic driving emerges entirely from self-play in simulation at unprecedented scale -- 1.6 billion km of driving…
