Steer, Don't Solve: Training Small Critic Models for Large Code Agents

1. 1Freeze the agent model to focus on critic model training
2. 2Add a small critic model to supply steering signals
3. 3Train the critic model to optimize strategy-level reasoning
4. 4Integrate the critic model with the frozen agent
5. 5Test the combined model on code execution tasks
6. 6Fine-tune the critic model for improved performance

Software engineers and AI researchers can benefit from this approach to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of code agents, by providing a more nuanced understanding of code-level execution and strategy-level reasoning

💡 Small critic models can effectively steer large code agents, improving code execution and strategy-level reasoning
