Step labels written by humans are expensive, though, and earlier automatically labelled PRMs gave only marginal gains over outcome reward models (ORMs). This work asks what a step-level reward should actually measure.… ## All works 6 works of theirs in our library, the most cited first; 3 with a page here, the others link their original until we summarise them. 1.
