Dense progress rewards help train agents on longer computer tasks

The authors construct 1,170 verifiable environments from hidden workflow specifications, then use intermediate progress to provide reinforcement-learning rewards before tasks are completed.

In one line

Latent-world task generation plus dense progress rewards makes long-horizon agent training tractable and improves open models across in-domain and transferred terminal benchmarks.
