Existing methods typically rely either on costly external supervision from humans or strong teacher models, or on self-play training with static-difficulty instructions that cannot evolve as the model's capabilities improve. To address these limitations, we propose SEIF (Self-Evolving Reinforcement Learning for Instruction Following), a self-evolving framework for enhancing the instruction-following ability of LLMs. SEIF forms a closed self-evolution loop that improves the model's instruction-following ability, where instruction difficulty evolution and model capability evolution reinforce each other. SEIF consists of four roles: an Instructor that generates increasingly challenging instructions, a Filter that removes conflicting or invalid instructions to ensure data quality, a Follower that learns to follow evolved instructions, and a Judger that provides reward signals for reinforcement learning. The Instructor and Follower are alternately trained and co-evolve throughout the process. Experiments across multiple model scales and architectures show that SEIF consistently improves instruction-following performance, suggesting strong generality. Further analyses reveal the sources of improvement and identify an effective training strategy for self-evolution on open-ended tasks: sufficient early-stage training to build a solid foundation, followed by mo…","meta_description":"🤗 Upvotes: 25 | cs.CL Authors: Qingyu Ren, Qianyu He, Jiajie Zhu, Xingzhou Chen, Jingwen Chang, Zeye Sun, Han Xia, Fei Yu, Jiaqing Liang, Yanghua Xiao Tit…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":1287,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/daily-paper-cast-7079649/episodes/seif-self-evolving-reinforcement-learning-for-instruction-following/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/daily-paper-cast-7079649/seif-self-evolving-reinforcement-learning-for-instruction-following.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
