> RLHF is only tweaking the LLM to be more "well behaved"
Not quite right - RLHF is about aligning with human preferences (because it trains, as the name implies, on signal from humans). This does not necessarily correlate with behavior. We use RLHF across any number of domains and with any number of goals, not just alignment.
RLVR is a (more recent, better in some cases) way to automate the training loop without the human being involved, because you give the model a way to verify its own results and train on that as a signal.
