Training Reasoning Models: RLVR, PRM vs ORM

Reasoning models like o1 and R1 are not just bigger instruct models: they are trained with reinforcement learning where the reward comes from checking whether the final answer is correct, which teaches the model to generate long internal chains of thought. This page covers RL with verifiable rewards (and GRPO specifically), the split between process reward models that score each step and outcome reward models that score only the answer, and how that choice shapes test-time search. Applied AI interviews probe it to see if you understand where the reasoning ability actually comes from.
