New research from Databricks: LLMs Can Learn to Reason... via Off-Policy RL Optimal Advantage-based Policy Optimization with Lagged Inference policy (OAPL) shows you don’t need strict on-policy training to improve reasoning. It matches or beats Group Relative Policy Optimization (GRPO), stays stable with large policy lag, and uses ~3× fewer training generations. For Databricks customers, it’s a simpler, practical, and equally powerful approach to RL that Databricks is pioneering internally — and bringing directly to Databricks customers, so enterprises can improve agents using the same methods we use for our in-house agents, without complex infrastructure changes.show more

Our @Grammarly AI agents are here! Today, we’re launching... eight new AI agents designed for students and professionals. We created many of these agents with students in mind because they’re the first generation entering a job market where employers expect both subject expertise AND AI fluency. These agents help with everything from finding credible sources to predicting reader reactions. One agent we’ve gotten great feedback on is AI Grader (I wish I had this in school), which you can see in the video below. It looks at your assignment rubric and gives you suggestions like your professor would, and a grade prediction before you submit your work. And these agents are available in docs, our new AI-native writing surface! I’m deeply proud of this launch—docs is powered by Coda technology and is a great integration moment between Grammarly and Coda. This is just the beginning of Grammarly’s journey to offering agents that work everywhere people work and collaborate. I’ve been loving using these agents, and I’m excited for our customers to get access. Try them for yourself here and let me know what you think:show more
