 +The reward function is typically binary:
 +
 +$$r(x, y) = \mathbf{1}\!\left[\text{verify}(x, y) = \text{correct}\right]$$
 +
 +where $x$ is the prompt and $y$ is the model's response. For code generation, this extends to graded rewards based on test pass rates: $r(x, y) = \frac{\text{tests passed}}{\text{total tests}}$.

It uses **Group Relative Policy Optimization (GRPO)**, which replaces PPO's critic network with group-relative advantage estimation. For a prompt $x$, GRPO samples a group of $G$ responses and computes: 
 + 
 +$$\hat{A}_i = \frac{r_i - \mu_G}{\sigma_G}, \quad \mu_G = \frac{1}{G}\sum_{j=1}^{G} r_j, \quad \sigma_G = \sqrt{\frac{1}{G}\sum_{j=1}^{G}(r_j - \mu_G)^2}$$ 
 + 
 +The policy update uses a clipped surrogate objective with KL penalty: 
 + 
 +$$\mathcal{L}_{\text{GRPO}}(\theta) = \mathbb{E}\left[\min\!\left(\rho_i \hat{A}_i,\;\text{clip}(\rho_i, 1{-}\epsilon, 1{+}\epsilon)\hat{A}_i\right) - \beta\,D_{\text{KL}}(\pi_\theta \| \pi_{\text{ref}})\right]$$
