摘要
自我改进系统需要通过环境交互实现持续适应。我们提出SPICE(语料库环境自博弈)强化学习框架,其核心在于单一模型扮演双重角色:作为挑战者从大型语料库中挖掘文档以生成多样化推理任务,同时作为求解者解决这些任务。通过对抗性动态机制,挑战者在求解者能力边界上构建自动课程,而语料库根基则为持续改进提供了丰富且近乎无穷的外部信号。与现有缺乏根基的自博弈方法相比,SPICE在多个模型系列的数学推理(+8.9%)和通用推理(+9.8%)基准测试中均实现稳定提升。分析表明,文档根基是SPICE持续生成并实现日益复杂目标的关键要素,从而驱动系统的持续自我改进。

Self-improving systems require environmental interaction for continuous
adaptation. We introduce SPICE (Self-Play In Corpus Environments), a
reinforcement learning framework where a single model acts in two roles: a
Challenger that mines documents from a large corpus to generate diverse
reasoning tasks, and a Reasoner that solves them. Through adversarial dynamics,
the Challenger creates an automatic curriculum at the frontier of the
Reasoner's capability, while corpus grounding provides the rich,
near-inexhaustible external signal necessary for sustained improvement. Unlike
existing ungrounded self-play methods that offer more limited benefits, SPICE
achieves consistent gains across mathematical (+8.9%) and general reasoning
(+9.8%) benchmarks on multiple model families. Our analysis reveals how
document grounding is a key ingredient in SPICE to continuously generate its
own increasingly challenging goals and achieve them, enabling sustained
self-improvement.
