C008¶


Research	R0055 — RLHF Yes-Men Claims
Run	2026-04-01
Claim	C008

Claim: RLVR (Reinforcement Learning with Verifiable Rewards) replaces human preference signals with deterministic correctness verification

BLUF: Accurate. RLVR uses programmatic verifiers returning binary correct/incorrect signals (1.0/0.0) instead of learned reward models based on human preferences. This is well-documented across multiple sources.

Probability: Almost certain (95-99%) | Confidence: High
