Training large language models requires accurate feedback signals, but traditional reinforcement learning (RL) often struggles with reward signal reliability. The quality of these signals directly influences how models learn and make decisions. However, creating robust feedback mechanisms can be complex and error prone. Real-world training scenarios often introduce hidden biases,
