Researchers have developed ThinkPrior, a novel method for optimizing prompt selection in reinforcement learning with verifiable rewards (RLVR). This approach aims to reduce wasted computational resources by creating a difficulty prior before the first training rollout, unlike traditional methods that require initial rollouts to estimate difficulty. ThinkPrior utilizes an external anchor pass to establish this prior, which is then updated based on training outcomes. Experiments on the Qwen2.5-Math-7B model showed that ThinkPrior significantly reduces early silent groups and wasted rollouts without compromising final accuracy. AI
