The rapid evolution of Large Language Models (LLMs) has accelerated the transition from conversational chatbots to general agents. However, effectively balancing empathetic communication with budget-aware decision-making remains an open challenge. Since existing methods fail to capture these complex strategic trade-offs, we propose InteractCS-RL, a framework that reframes task-oriented dialogue as a multi-granularity reinforcement learning process. Specifically, we first establish a User-centric Interaction Framework to provide a high-fidelity training gym, enabling agents to dynamically explore diverse strategies with persona-driven users. Then, we introduce Cost-aware Multi-turn Policy Optimization (CMPO) with a hybrid advantage estimation strategy. By integrating generative process credits and employing a PID-Lagrangian cost controller, CMPO effectively guides the policy to explore Pareto boundary between user reward and global cost constraints. Extensive experiments on customized real business scenarios demonstrate that InteractCS-RL significantly outperform other baselines across three evaluation dimensions. Further evaluation on tool-agent-user interaction benchmarks verify InteractCS-RL robustness across diverse domains.

我们寻求创造代理人,既采取行动,并与其他代理人在追求一个目标。为此,我们扩展了LIGHT(Urbanek et al. 2019)-一个大规模的众包幻想文本游戏-带有任务数据集。这些包含自然语言动机,以及游戏中的目标和人类演示;完成任务可能需要对话或行动(或两者兼而有之)。我们引入了一个强化学习系统,该系统(1)结合了基于大规模语言建模和基于常识推理的预训练,以向智能体注入相关的先验知识;(2)利用动作命令和对话的因子化动作空间,在两者之间进行平衡。我们使用人类专家演示进行zero-shot评估,表明我们的代理能够始终如一地采取行动,并自然地谈论他们的动机。
