Co-Evolving LLM Evaluators and Policies via DynamicRubric

Research LLMs & Foundation Models

Merged summary

TL;DR - DynamicRubric co-evolves LLM evaluators and policies by generating candidate-set-specific weighted rubrics, preserving useful score gaps as policy outputs converge in quality. With 8B backbones, it outperforms much larger evaluator baselines and improves reasoning, coding, and production search metrics.

  • Frames relative evaluator score gaps as the exact optimization signal for reallocating probability between responses.
  • Generates weighted binary rubric items conditioned on each candidate response set, then aggregates judgments into response-level scores.
  • Provides stronger policy supervision than baselines using a 70B reward model or 235B static rubric generator.
  • A resulting model serves all WeChat Search AI-answering traffic across tens of millions of daily requests.
