arXiv:2605. 21125v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Group Relative Policy Optimization (GRPO), a prominent algorithm within the Reinforcement Learning from Verifiable Rewards (RLVR) framework, has achieved strong results in improving the reasoning capabilities of large language models (LLMs).
The paper addresses the memory bottleneck in reinforcement learning for large language models caused by the large Key-Value (KV) cache during rollout phases. It highlights that while KV cache compression can reduce memory usage, it introduces a significant off‑policy bias that standard statistical corrections cannot adequately mitigate. The authors argue that even tiny compression errors are amplified by RL’s instability, leading to inefficient learning.
Mitigating social bias in Large Language Models (LLMs) presents a distinct alignment challenge: unlike verifiable tasks, bias lacks a single ground truth, creating a high-variance, subjective reward landscape. Previous preference-based fine-tuning methods have major trade-offs: Direct Preference Optimization (DPO) is limited by the lack of exploration inherent in offline training, while Proximal Policy Optimization (PPO) can lead to training instability due to potentially unreliable critic estimates.

arXiv:2606. 29758v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback (RLHF) for Large Language Models increasingly relies on critic-free methods as a practical alternative to actor--critic training.
Reinforcement learning (RL) is becoming increasingly important for post-training large language models (LLMs). Previous RL pipelines for LLMs were mostly synchronous and batch-interleaved, which is inefficient for long-horizon agentic tasks.
