Researchers have introduced Recursive Semantic Divergence (RSD), a new metric designed to evaluate and improve the consistency of Large Language Model (LLM) agents. LLM agents often exhibit unpredictable behavior, leading to inconsistent tool usage and contradictory outputs across different runs. RSD addresses this by measuring the expected cumulative semantic disagreement between agent rollouts, adapted from reinforcement learning bisimulation metrics. When used as a reward signal for fine-tuning, RSD has demonstrated a significant reduction in behavioral variation and an improvement in performance across various benchmarks, matching supervised fine-tuning results with less variance and no need for ground-truth labels.
