Tencent's Terminal-RSI more than doubles a 27B model's Terminal-Bench scores

According to a post on X by @QwenAIFans, which summarizes an arXiv paper, Tencent trained Qwen3.8-27B with a method called Terminal-RSI. In this approach, only a locked verifier decides whether a terminal task is done. Across four Terminal-Bench suites, the score rose from 20.68% to 50.58%, and on Bench 4.0 it went from 0 to 19.84%, based on the mean of three runs.

AI-assisted summary based on the listed source.

Per an arXiv paper summarized by @QwenAIFans, Tencent trained Qwen3.8-27B with Terminal-RSI, where only a locked verifier decides whether a terminal task is done. Across four Terminal-Bench suites the score rose from 20.68% to 50.58%, and on Bench 4.0 from 0 to 19.84% (mean of three runs). Why it matters: Points...

The post presents this as a possible fix for agents that claim a task is complete while the final test still fails. Builders working on terminal and coding agents may want to read the underlying paper to see how the locked verifier is set up. The next thing to watch is whether these gains hold up in evaluations beyond the authors' own reported runs.
