让大模型自己出题自己解，持续提升推理能力。

Recent advances in large language model (LLM) reasoning through reinforcement learning rely on annotated datasets for verifiable rewards, which may limit models' ability to surpass human-level performance. While self-play offers a promising alternative, prior methods yield only marginal or even negative gains on post-trained models because they generate problems that cluster around familiar concepts rather than discovering novel ones. We introduce Open-Ended Self-Improving Reasoner (OpenSIR), a self-play framework in which a single LLM alternates teacher and student roles to generate and solve novel problems without external verifiers or annotated data. Starting from a single seed problem, OpenSIR sustains open-ended exploration through diversity rewards that push the model toward unfamiliar concepts and difficulty calibration that keeps problems learnable. Across seven math benchmarks, OpenSIR consistently improves all models, averaging +3.6 points on instruction models and +3.1 on reasoning models, while recent self-play baselines yield marginal or even negative gains; starting from a single trivial seed, it also surpasses GRPO baselines trained on over 7K annotated examples. Despite training only on self-generated math, OpenSIR is the only self-play method that transfers to general reasoning, improving by at least +4.4 points on reasoning models.
