Merged summary

TL;DR - DATPO is an RLVR method that uses difficulty-adaptive, sentence-entropy-guided tree rollouts to broaden language models’ reasoning coverage. It improves pass@k on mathematical reasoning benchmarks, enabling stronger test-time scaling.

  • Difficulty-adaptive rollouts help expand pass@k rather than serving only as an efficiency optimization.
  • Tree-based rollouts discover correct answers more effectively than parallel sampling.
  • Sentence-level entropy guides branching toward semantically diverse reasoning paths, avoiding localized token-level variations.
  • A sibling-diversity advantage explicitly rewards diversity among branches during policy optimization.
