Research questions reliability of difficulty labels in RLVR

A new research paper questions the reliability of difficulty labels used in Reinforcement Learning with Verifiable Rewards (RLVR). The study suggests that prompts previously deemed unlearnable may actually improve, albeit at a slower rate, and that the difficulty labels themselves are less reproducible than expected. The researchers propose a framework to quantify this instability and determine the necessary evaluation depth for reliable difficulty assignments, while also re-examining the gradient-similarity evidence used to explain the slow-learning phenomenon.
