Paper method and evidence¶
Static knowledge QA does not test active questioning, tool use or long-horizon decisions. The paper combines scenario generation, information-asymmetric simulations, isolated dimension-specific judges and GRPO. Hidden references belong to environment and judges, not evaluated policies. Weighted normalized dimension scores minus truncation penalty are only reward aggregation, not the complete algorithm. Section 3 · Table 2 and Eq. 1.

Reported results¶
Reported simulated, external-task and blinded results are not clinical production benefits or industrial online A/B. Prospective real-workflow validation remains necessary. No local recomputation or import of author figures as experimental records.
Local reproduction¶
The internal Gemini training stack uses separate simulation/judge calls and 49,870 regular, 5,000 history-taking and 2,583 adversarial scenarios, with up to 60 turns and eight tool calls per trajectory. Section 3.4. One A100/A30 or a Mac cannot faithfully replace it, and public APIs do not expose the same weight update. No paid long probe, substitute checkpoint, scripted reproduction claim, runnable code, metrics, GPU receipt, Evolve operator or retry queue.
