Group Adaptive Clipping Policy Optimization

Group Adaptive Clipping Policy Optimization (GAPO) is a plug‑in modification to GRPO methods that adapts the importance‑sampling clipping boundary based on rollout advantage. By allowing rollouts with larger learning signals to receive proportionally greater update headroom, GAPO addresses the limitation of fixed clipping that suppresses rare but informative rollouts. Experiments on Qwen and Llama models show that GAPO consistently improves Pass@1 and Pass@k on math reasoning and coding benchmarks where base model pass rates are low.

Reusing Past Samples in Proximal Policy Optimization: When and How Does It Help?

The paper investigates how reusing past samples can improve the sample efficiency of Proximal Policy Optimization (PPO). Two variants, wPPO-U and wPPO-BH, are introduced within a multiple importance weighting framework, each reusing data from recent iterations while preserving core PPO mechanics. The authors derive theoretical policy improvement bounds for both variants and empirically evaluate their impact on continuous control tasks.
