Post-Training at the Edge of Detectability: A Game-Theoretic Approach to Fine-Tuning

arXiv:2607. 26358v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Reinforcement learning (RL) fine-tuning is widely used in language model training to improve model performance on a target task while limiting drift from a reference policy.
