[DeepLearning.AI @DeepLearningAI]

Reinforcement learning (RL) is becoming a vital tool for improving chain-of-thought in reasoning models. Recent models like DeepSeek-R1 and Kimi k1.5 have used RL to refine their reasoning steps, generating more accurate solutions for complex domains such as math, coding, and science. Unlike other training methods, RL rewards models for generating better sequences, allowing them to self-improve.
