用大模型提升推荐系统最终排序效果，显著改善用户点击率。

Industrial recommendation systems serve billions of users through a multi-stage funnel -- retrieval, early-stage ranking, and re-ranking -- where the final re-ranking step disproportionately shapes user engagement and downstream performance, particularly for carousel and grid display formats. Despite growing enthusiasm for Large Language Models (LLMs) in recommendation, three gaps hinder industrial adoption: (1) most efforts target retrieval and ranking, leaving re-ranking -- the stage closest to the final user experience -- largely underexplored; (2) LLMs are typically deployed zero-shot or via supervised fine-tuning, underutilizing the reasoning capabilities unlocked by reinforcement learning (RL) on verifiable rewards; (3) deployed catalogs index billions of items with non-semantic identifiers that lie outside any base-LLM vocabulary. We present GR2 (Generative Reasoning Re-Ranker), an end-to-end framework that combines (i) mid-training on semantic IDs produced by a tokenizer with >=99% uniqueness, (ii) reasoning-trace distilled from a stronger teacher via targeted prompting and rejection sampling, and (iii) RL with verifiable rewards purpose-built for re-ranking. To make GR2 resource-viable, we further (iv) introduce a context compressor that amortizes training cost, On-Policy Distillation (OPD) as a scalable alternative to SFT -- which we find collapses at industrial scale -- and reasoning distillation for low-latency serving. GR2 delivers +18.7% R@1, +7.1% R@3, and +9.6% N@3 over legacy baselines on industrial-scale traffic. We further find that reward design is critical in re-ranking: LLMs often hack rewards by preserving the incoming order or exploiting position bias, motivating conditional verifiable rewards as essential industrial components.
