Training large language model agents for long-horizon tool use typically relies on interactions with real or synthesized executable environments, whose construction and verification are costly, or on external simulators that are difficult to ground. We introduce EnvACE, an agentic reinforcement learning method that replaces external environment interaction during training with world rehearsal. The policy alternates between acting and rehearsal: it first generates a tool call, then plays the role of the environment to produce the response induced by that action, and conditions subsequent decisi…

DASH improves on-policy self-distillation of reasoning models.

  • divergence-adaptive supervision

DASH assigns different coefficients to local divergences based on their position and the divergence sequence, mitigating the underexploitation of temporal structure in the rollout.
