RLVR & Verifiable Rewards

Understand RLVR (the training approach that produced DeepSeek-R1's reasoning capabilities) using binary correctness signals instead of human preferences or reward model approximations.

What you'll master

RLVR vs. RLHF vs. DPO, and when each applies

Verifiable reward functions (math, code, formal logic)
