Language models must now generalize out of the box to novel environments and work inside inference-scaling search procedures, such as AlphaEvolve, that select rollouts with a variety of task-specific reward functions. Unfortunately, the standard paradigm of LLM post-training optimizes a pre-specified scalar reward, often leading current LLMs to produce low-entropy response distributions and thus to struggle at displaying the diversity that inference-time search will require. We propose Vector Policy Optimization (VPO), an RL algorithm that explicitly trains policies to anticipate diverse downstream reward functions and to produce diverse solutions. VPO exploits that rewards are often vector-valued in practice, like per-test-case correctness in code generation or, say, multiple different user personas or reward models. VPO combines multi-answer prompting with a set-level reward to train the LLM to produce sets of solutions that specialize to different trade-offs in the vector reward space. Across four tasks, VPO matches or beats the strongest scalar RL baselines on test-time search (e.g. pass@k and best@k), with the gap widening as the search budget grows. For evolutionary search, VPO models unlock problems that GRPO models cannot solve at all. As test-time search becomes standard, diversity may need to become the default post-training objective.
