Developing autonomous LLM agents capable of making a series of intelligent decisions to solve complex, real-world tasks is a fast-evolving frontier. Like human cognitive development, agents are expected to acquire knowledge and skills through exploration and interaction with the environment. Despite advances, the community still lacks a unified, interactive reinforcement learning (RL) framework that can effectively train such agents from scratch -- without relying on supervised fine-tuning (SFT) -- across diverse and realistic environments. To bridge this gap, we introduce AgentGym-RL, a new framework to train LLM agents for multi-turn interactive decision-making through RL. The framework features a modular and decoupled architecture, ensuring high flexibility and extensibility. It encompasses a wide variety of real-world scenarios, and supports mainstream RL algorithms. Furthermore, we propose ScalingInter-RL, a training approach designed for exploration-exploitation balance and stable RL optimization. In early stages, it emphasizes exploitation by restricting the number of interactions, and gradually shifts towards exploration with larger horizons to encourage diverse problem-solving strategies. In this way, the agent develops more diverse behaviors and is less prone to collapse under long horizons. We perform extensive experiments to validate the stability and effectiveness of both the AgentGym-RL framework and the ScalingInter-RL approach. Our agents match or surpass commercial models on 27 tasks across diverse environments. We offer key insights and will open-source the complete AgentGym-RL framework -- including code and datasets -- to empower the research community in developing the next generation of intelligent agents.

    cs.LG 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A single RL policy alternating task solving and skill-document curation, with decoupled cross-task credit, improves Pass@1 and cross-task test-time scaling on ALFWorld, WebShop, and ScienceWorld.

  2. When Reasoning Narrows the Move: Diversity Collapse in LLM Game Play

    cs.CL 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Supervised fine-tuning collapses LLM action diversity in board-game play beyond what the accuracy–diversity tradeoff requires; augmenting SFT data with all optimal actions per state partially prevents this.
