Prefix-GRPO enhances small language models for interactive agents

Researchers have introduced Prefix-GRPO, a novel reinforcement learning framework designed to enhance the performance of small language models in interactive agent tasks. This method decomposes teacher trajectories into replay-aligned prefix queries and online continuations, allowing student models to learn more effectively in long-horizon environments. Experiments on TextCraft, BabyAI, and ALFWorld demonstrated that Prefix-GRPO outperforms standard distillation and RL baselines by optimizing both prefix learning and continuation learning within a unified policy-optimization framework.

    From Trajectories to Prefixes: Reusing Teacher Trajectories via Replayed Prefixes and Online Continuation

    arXiv:2607.19395v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Small language models are attractive backbones for interactive agents, but direct distillation from strong teacher trajectories often turns rich multi-turn behavior into one-shot imitation targets. This is inefficient in long-hori…
