Meta FAIR has introduced SOAR, a new framework that addresses the 'cold start' problem in LLM training via reinforcement learning. When a model scores zero on hard math problems, standard RL training fails due to the absence of a gradient signal. SOAR escapes this trap without relying on any human-curated data, enabling learning to bootstrap from scratch even in zero-reward scenarios.

when a model scores 0/128 on hard math problems, standard RL training collapses. no gradient signal. no learning. nothing.

Meta FAIR claims to have solved the 'cold start' problem in LLM training, where standard reinforcement learning techniques fail when a model scores 0/128 on hard math problems. The tweet is truncated and lacks further detail.
