Researchers have developed TRACE, a novel method for improving the performance of multi-turn AI agents in complex, long-horizon tasks. This technique addresses the challenge of credit assignment by deriving per-action rewards from a reference model's log-probabilities, rather than relying solely on sparse outcome rewards. TRACE significantly boosts the tool-use abilities of models like Qwen3-4B and Qwen3-30B-A3B on benchmarks such as BrowseComp-Plus, leading to faster convergence and improved learning curves. AI
