Yes, with good RLVR at scale you can greatly improve performance especially on benchmarks

The hope was that good RLVR on relatively contrived datasets (like benchmarks) would be generalized to good software taste, which has somewhat succeeded but also the models fail in horrible ways still

And the hope beyond that is that good skills in fundamental problem solving tasks (coding, math) would generalize to tasks beyond math and code, which did happen but less so
