EAPO (Exploration-Aware Policy Optimization) is a reinforcement learning framework for training agentic large language models to perform adaptive exploration during test-time interaction. Unlike prior methods that apply exploration uniformly across all states, EAPO enables agents to selectively explore only when environmental uncertainty is high, improving long-horizon reasoning and decision making in interactive environments such as GUI control, web navigation, and embodied tasks.
