Large Language Models for Sequential Decision-Making: Improving In-Context Learning via Supervised Fine-Tuning

ArXi:2605.09009v1 Announce Type: cross Large language models (LLMs) have shown remarkable in-context learning (ICL) capabilities, yet their potential for sequential decision-making remains underexplored. In this paper, we study the ICL capabilities of LLMs in sequential decision-making settings, including Marko Decision Processes (MDPs), Partially Observable MDPs (POMDPs), and Ambiguous POMDPs (APOMDPs). We fine-tune pretrained LLMs to perform few-shot decision-making directly from offline, oracle-labeled trajectories.
