When in Doubt, Plan It Out: Committed Small Language Model Deliberation for Reactive Reinforcement Learning

2026-06-15 · Nathan Gavenski, Juarez Monteiro, Francisco Galuppo, Adriano Veloso, Odinaldo Rodrigues arxiv

Reinforcement Learning (RL) policies often degrade in unfamiliar environments because they lack explicit deliberation. We propose Plan, Align, Commit, Think (PACT), a hybrid architecture that combines a fast, reactive RL policy with a slow, deliberative Small Language Model (SLM) planner. PACT invokes the SLM asynchronously to generate and validate candidate action plans. Once a plan is verified through simulation as safe, feasible, and complete, it is executed directly, bypassing the RL policy without retraining or modifying it. Evaluated on three FrozenLake configurations of increasing difficulty, PACT outperforms all baselines while relying on a 2B-parameter SLM backbone, suggesting that deliberative planning and reactive execution are more powerful in concert than either is alone in these settings.

Naive Markowitz Policies

2022-12-14 · Lin Chen, Xun Yu Zhou

We study a continuous-time Markowitz mean-variance portfolio selection model in which a naive agent, unaware of the underlying time-inconsistency, continuously reoptimizes over time. We define the resulting naive policie…

In the context of real-time planning, this paper investigates the contributions of two enhancements for selecting actions. First, the agenda-driven planning enhancement ranks relevant atomic goals and solves them increme…

Can Large Language Models Really Improve by Self-critiquing Their Own Plans?

2023-10-12 · Karthik Valmeekam, Matthew Marquez, Subbarao Kambhampati

There have been widespread claims about Large Language Models (LLMs) being able to successfully verify or self-critique their candidate solutions in reasoning problems in an iterative mode. Intrigued by those claims, in …

Off-the-Shelf LLMs as Process Scorers: Training-Free Alternative to PRMs for Mathematical Reasoning

2026-06-01 · Atoosa Chegini, Soheil Feizi arxiv

Selecting the best response from multiple small-model samples using a stronger scorer is a simple inference-time strategy, but fails when the small model has already committed to incorrect reasoning paths. PRM guided sea…
