Absolute Zero: Reinforced Self-play Reasoning with Zero Data

Andrew Zhao, Yiran Wu, Yang Yue et al.

What this work does

One language model proposes and solves executable reasoning tasks, using validity and learnability signals to generate its own curriculum.

Connection to discovery

A concrete mechanism for collecting new verifiable tasks without a prewritten question-answer corpus.

Evidence

The body states deterministic-program checks, task buffers and distinct verification rules for the three task modes.

Scope and limitations

The executable language, filters, task modes and pretrained prior remain supplied. Abductive program completion is not automatically identification of a real-world causal mechanism.
