让大模型通过自我纠错提升编程解题能力，效果超越更大模型。

While large language models (LLMs) have demonstrated strong performance on complex reasoning tasks such as competitive programming (CP), existing methods predominantly focus on single-attempt settings, overlooking their capacity for iterative refinement. In this paper, we present RefineRL, a novel approach designed to unleash the self-refinement capabilities of LLMs for CP problem solving. RefineRL introduces two key innovations: (1) Skeptical-Agent, an iterative self-refinement agent equipped with local execution tools to validate generated solutions against public test cases of CP problems. This agent always maintains a skeptical attitude towards its own outputs and thereby enforces rigorous self-refinement even when validation suggests correctness. (2) A reinforcement learning (RL) solution to incentivize LLMs to self-refine with only standard RLVR data (i.e., problems paired with their verifiable answers). Extensive experiments on Qwen3-4B and Qwen3-4B-2507 demonstrate that our method yields substantial gains: after our RL training, these compact 4B models integrated with the Skeptical-Agent not only outperform much larger 32B models but also approach the single-attempt performance of 235B models. These findings suggest that self-refinement holds considerable promise for scaling LLM reasoning, with significant potential for further advancement.
