Headroom-Drift Replay: A Primitive for Principled Replay Control in GRPO

Read the original on arXiv AI →

Headroom-Drift Replay is a replay control primitive designed for GRPO that separates reuse into two decisions: Headroom ranks stored groups by remaining learning value, while Drift gates them by compatibility with the current policy. The method keeps the fresh on‑policy stream unchanged and adds no auxiliary generation or training machinery. Across mathematical reasoning, multimodal reasoning, and Agentic Search benchmarks, it outperforms naive replay and matches or exceeds broader replay methods on Avg Mean@32, delivering comparable quality at materially lower wall‑clock time in Agentic Search.

REGEN: Replay-recycling for Expert-to-Generalist distillation with Offline Reinforcement Learning

Large-scale online reinforcement learning (RL) is the predominant means of eliciting advanced abilities including long-term reasoning and agentic tool use in large language models (LLMs). However, continuing to scale it across vast task domains of interest remains challenging in both computational infrastructure and cost, especially when considering RL as merely a one-off learning stage.
