| Challenge: | Existing models are susceptible to reward hacking, leading to a substantial overestimation of a model's reasoning ability. |
| Approach: | They propose a Rubric Reward Model that rewards the entire reasoning trajectory against problem-specific rubrics. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model outperforms outcome-only supervision on four math benchmarks and boosts Verified Pass@1024 from 26.7% to 62.6% and reduces the incidence of Miracle Steps by 71%. |
