Researchers have developed a new method called Margin-Credit Policy Optimization (MCPO) for reinforcement learning with verifiable rewards. Unlike existing methods that distribute rewards equally across all tokens in a solution, MCPO identifies and rewards tokens where the model showed hesitation, measured by the margin between the top two next-token predictions. This approach was tested on MiniCPM5-2B-Base and Qwen3-4B-Base models, showing significant improvements in performance on competition math benchmarks compared to standard GRPO, particularly on problems that were previously solved inconsistently.
