Researchers have identified a key bottleneck in Reinforcement Learning from Verifiable Rewards (RLVR) that hinders LLM reasoning optimization. The study pinpoints rigid clipping decisions in standard hard-clipping methods as the cause, which discards valuable signals near the clipping threshold. To address this, they propose Near-boundary Stochastic Rescue (NSR), a simple modification that stochastically retains these slightly out-of-bound tokens, improving training stability and performance across various model sizes and architectures.
