用新算法让大模型在社交困境中学会合作且不被利用。
Learning Robust Social Strategies with Large Language Models
- 引入优势对齐算法,让大模型在多智能体博弈中学会非剥削性合作。
- 在迭代博弈中实现更高集体收益,且能抵御贪婪对手的剥削。
- 构建支持自然语言沟通的新环境,适合研究真实社会互动。
随着代理型AI日益普及,具有不同甚至冲突目标的智能体将在复杂环境中交互。这类多智能体互动在社会困境中尤为棘手,个体激励常损害整体福利。尽管强化学习(RL)在单智能体场景中有效对齐大语言模型(LLMs),但先前小规模网络结果表明,标准RL在多智能体设置中往往收敛到自利、背叛策略。我们发现类似现象:即使具备合作先验,经强化学习训练的大模型也会发展出机会主义行为,甚至可利用先进的闭源模型。为解决这一问题,我们适配了一种近期提出的对手学习意识算法——优势对齐(Advantage Alignment),用于微调大模型以实现多智能体协作与非剥削性。同时引入群体相对基准,简化迭代博弈中的优势计算,使大规模大模型多智能体训练成为可能。我们还提出一个新社会困境环境Trust-and-Split,要求自然语言沟通以达成高集体福利。在多种社会困境中,采用优势对齐训练的策略获得更高集体回报,且对贪婪对手保持鲁棒。代码已全部开源,以支持未来大模型多智能体强化学习研究。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
As agentic AI becomes more widespread, agents with distinct and possibly conflicting goals will interact in complex ways. These multi-agent interactions pose a fundamental challenge, particularly in social dilemmas, where agents' individual incentives can undermine collective welfare. While reinforcement learning (RL) has been effective for aligning large language models (LLMs) in the single-agent regime, prior small-network results suggest that standard RL in multi-agent settings often converges to defecting, self-interested policies. We show the same effect in LLMs: despite cooperative priors, RL-trained LLM agents develop opportunistic behavior that can exploit even advanced closed-source models. To address this tendency of RL to converge to poor equilibria, we adapt a recent opponent-learning awareness algorithm, Advantage Alignment, to fine-tune LLMs toward multi-agent cooperation and non-exploitability. We then introduce a group-relative baseline that simplifies advantage computation in iterated games, enabling multi-agent training at LLM scale. We also contribute a novel social dilemma environment, Trust-and-Split, which requires natural language communication to achieve high collective welfare. Across a wide range of social dilemmas, policies learned with Advantage Alignment achieve higher collective payoffs while remaining robust against exploitation by greedy agents. We release all of our code to support future work on multi-agent RL training for LLMs.
