The multiplicative hardness mechanism—combining data-level semantic dissimilarity (cosine similarity) and model-level uncertainty (reward gaps)—functions as a strict AND-gate that concentrates optimization on simultaneously content-hard and model-uncertain samples, providing measurable ablation-verified gains. Per-category reward models add only ~20% compute overhead while sharpening safety-specific refusal across all seven harm categories. The hardness weighting is shown to generalize to PPO and DPO as well, suggesting a broadly applicable principle rather than a GRPO-specific trick.",
