Same scenario, different trajectories
The policy attempts one task several ways. Tool calls and conversation turns stay inside each trajectory.
ART by OpenPipe / simplified trajectory-group model
Predict a multi-turn strategy. Score the group. Watch experience reshape the next policy.
What the group contributes
A rollout is not just an answer. It is the whole sequence of planning, tool calls, observations, and revisions. GRPO compares several trajectories from the same scenario, turning their differences into a learning signal.
Group mean
μ = Σr / G
Relative advantage
Ai = (ri - μ) / σ
Simplified policy step
p'i ∝ pi exp(ηAi)
The policy attempts one task several ways. Tool calls and conversation turns stay inside each trajectory.
Normalization gives the strong rollouts positive advantage and weak rollouts negative advantage without needing a fixed class label.
The learning step increases probability for above-group behavior. The lab shows a simplified strategy-level update, not full token-level GRPO.
Misconception recovery
Choose Speed only in the arena and run a group. The fast guess wins the proxy while skipping verification. Then repair the metric with verified correctness.

Transfer the idea
Assess an expense-approval agent. ART's official guidance favors tasks the base model can sometimes complete, with a consistent quantifiable reward and an environment that can be repeated without real-world side effects.
Keep the evidence
The trace contains your prediction, trajectory rewards, computed advantages, policy shift, misconception correction, mastery, and transfer guidance.
