Rethinking Reinforcement Fine-Tuning in LVLM: Convergence, Reward Decomposition, and Generalization

arXiv CS.LG

ArXi:2604.19857v1 Announce Type: new Reinforcement fine-tuning with verifiable rewards (RLVR) has emerged as a powerful paradigm for equipping large vision-language models (LVLMs) with agentic capabilities such as tool use and multi-step reasoning. Despite striking empirical successes, most notably Visual Agentic Reinforcement Fine-Tuning (Visual-ARFT), the theoretical underpinnings of this paradigm remain poorly understood.
