The paper introduces FastRL, a reinforcement learning framework designed to enhance the efficiency of Group Relative Policy Optimization (GRPO) and its variants. FastRL employs an advantage-aware pruning strategy that retains high-advantage trajectories while preserving gradient diversity, and an adaptive rollout sampling mechanism that adjusts sampling scale during training based on historical pruning data. Experiments show that FastRL can be integrated into GRPO, DAPO, and GSPO, yielding a 2.07× speedup on Geometry3K and GeoQA8K-R1V and a 1.64% accuracy improvement on visual reasoning benchmarks.

arXiv:2601. 11960v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Existing reinforcement learning methods for LLM reasoning implicitly assume that the policy generating training trajectories should coincide with the one producing inference responses.
arXiv:2505. 09655v5 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Post-training LLMs with Reinforcement Learning, specifically Group Relative Policy Optimization (GRPO), has emerged as a paradigm for enhancing mathematical reasoning.
The paper investigates Evolution Strategies (ES) as a memory‑efficient post‑training method for large language model (LLM) reasoning. It demonstrates that ES outperforms Group Relative Policy Optimization (GRPO) by achieving broader reasoning coverage, improving Pass@K metrics, and avoiding entropy collapse. The study also reveals that ES’s performance gains stem from sparse, high‑magnitude parameter updates, do not cause catastrophic forgetting, and can be combined with GRPO in a sequential training strategy.
arXiv:2601. 09085v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Group Relative Policy Optimization (GRPO) has become a standard approach for training mathematical reasoning models; however, its reliance on multiple completions per prompt makes training computationally expensive.
