New Course: Reinforcement Fine-Tuning LLMs with GRPO! Learn to use reinforcement learning to improve your LLM performance in this short course, built in collaboration with Predibase by Rubrik, and taught by Travis Addair, its Co-Founder and CTO, and Arnav Garg, its Senior Engineer and Machine Learning Lead. Reasoning models have been one of the most important developments in LLMs. Reinforcement Fine-Tuning (RFT) uses rewards to encourage LLMs to find solutions to multi-step reasoning tasks such as solving math problems and debugging code - without needing pre-existing training examples like in traditional supervised fine-tuning. Group Relative Policy Optimization (GRPO) is a reinforcement fine-tuning algorithm gaining rapid adoption. Developed by the DeepSeek team and used to train the R1 reasoning model, GRPO uses reward functions that you can write in Python to assign rewards to model responses. It’s beneficial for tasks with verifiable outcomes and can work well even with fewer than 100 training examples. It can also significantly improve the reasoning ability of smaller LLMs, making applications faster and more cost effective. In this course, you’ll take a technical deep dive into RFT with GRPO. You’ll learn to build reward functions that you can use in the GRPO training process to guide an LLM toward better performance on multi-step reasoning tasks. In detail, you’ll: - Learn when reinforcement fine-tuning is a better fit than supervised fine-tuning, especially for tasks involving multi-step reasoning or limited labeled data. - Understand how GRPO uses programmable reward functions as a more scalable alternative to the human feedback required for other reinforcement learning algorithms, such as RLHF and DPO. - Frame the Wordle game as a reinforcement fine-tuning problem and see how an LLM can learn to plan, analyze feedback, and improve its strategy over time. - Design reward functions that power the reinforcement fine-tuning process. - Learn techniques for evaluating more subjective tasks, such as rating the quality of a text summary, using an LLM as a judge. - Understand why reward hacking happens and how to avoid it by adding penalty functions to discourage undesirable behaviors. - Learn the four key components of the loss calculation in the GRPO algorithm: token probability distribution ratios, advantages, clipping, and KL-divergence. - Launch reinforcement fine-tuning jobs using Predibase’s hosted training services. By the end of this course, you’ll be able to build and fine-tune LLMs using reinforcement learning to improve reasoning without relying on large labeled datasets or subjective human feedback.

Groq founder Jonathan Ross explains why their architecture is better for inference than GPUs. Inference doesn't require as much compute power as training. What matters in inference is speed, cost, and energy consumption. $NVDA was going to lose market share as AI workloads shift to inference. They saw this and made a highly strategic move by striking a deal with Groq. $NVDA is already dominating training, and now it's also well-positioned to dominate inference.

🤖Adding new RL algorithms to LeRobot just got much easier. Demo: HIL-SERL training with a SAC-based RL algorithm on an SO-100 for a hole-in-hand peg-in-hole task. Sparse reward, only 30 offline demos mixed with live robot experience, and ~1 hour of online training with human interventions only when the policy fails. The bottom graph tracks intervention rate: high at the start, steadily dropping as the policy improves. The refactor separates algorithm logic from training infrastructure: • RLAlgorithm owns learning logic • RLTrainer handles orchestration • DataMixer combines rollouts, demos, interventions, and future data sources Adding an RL algorithm now looks much closer to adding a policy: one algorithm file, one config, one registry entry. SAC is first. RLT, RECAP, ConRFT, QC-FQL, DSRL, and VLA RL fine-tuning next! Thomas Wolf clem 🤗

New Course: Post-training of LLMs Learn to post-train and customize an LLM in this short course, taught by Banghua Zhu, Assistant Professor at the University of Washington University of Washington, and co-founder of @NexusflowX. Training an LLM to follow instructions or answer questions has two key stages: pre-training and post-training. In pre-training, it learns to predict the next word or token from large amounts of unlabeled text. In post-training, it learns useful behaviors such as following instructions, tool use, and reasoning. Post-training transforms a general-purpose token predictor—trained on trillions of unlabeled text tokens—into an assistant that follows instructions and performs specific tasks. Because it is much cheaper than pre-training, it is practical for many more teams to incorporate post-training methods into their workflows than pre-training. In this course, you’ll learn three common post-training methods—Supervised Fine-Tuning (SFT), Direct Preference Optimization (DPO), and Online Reinforcement Learning (RL)—and how to use each one effectively. With SFT, you train the model on pairs of input and ideal output responses. With DPO, you provide both a preferred (chosen) and a less preferred (rejected) response and train the model to favor the preferred output. With RL, the model generates an output, receives a reward score based on human or automated feedback, and updates the model to improve performance. You’ll learn the basic concepts, common use cases, and principles for curating high-quality data for effective training. Through hands-on labs, you’ll download a pre-trained model from Hugging Face and post-train it using SFT, DPO, and RL to see how each technique shapes model behavior. In detail, you’ll: - Understand what post-training is, when to use it, and how it differs from pre-training. - Build an SFT pipeline to turn a base model into an instruct model. - Explore how DPO reshapes behavior by minimizing contrastive loss—penalizing poor responses and reinforcing preferred ones. - Implement a DPO pipeline to change the identity of a chat assistant. - Learn online RL methods such as Proximal Policy Optimization (PPO) and Group Relative Policy Optimization (GRPO), and how to design reward functions. - Train a model with GRPO to improve its math capabilities using a verifiable reward. Post-training is one of the most rapidly developing areas of LLM training. Whether you’re building a high-accuracy context-specific assistant, fine-tuning a model's tone, or improving task-specific accuracy, this course will give you experience with the most important techniques shaping how LLMs are post-trained today.

An exciting new course: Fine-tuning and Reinforcement Learning for LLMs: Intro to Post-training, taught by Sharon Zhou, VP of AI at AMD. Available now at Post-training is the key technique used by frontier labs to turn a base LLM--a model trained on massive unlabeled text to predict the next word/token--into a helpful, reliable assistant that can follow instructions. I've also seen many applications where post-training is what turns a demo application that works only 80% of the time into a reliable system that consistently performs. This course will teach you the most important post-training techniques! In this 5 module course, Sharon walks you through the complete post-training pipeline: supervised fine-tuning, reward modeling, RLHF, and techniques like PPO and GRPO. You'll also learn to use LoRA for efficient training, and to design evals that catch problems before and after deployment. Skills you'll gain: - Apply supervised fine-tuning and reinforcement learning (RLHF, PPO, GRPO) to align models to desired behaviors - Use LoRA for efficient fine-tuning without retraining entire models - Prepare datasets and generate synthetic data for post-training - Understand how to operate LLM production pipelines, with go/no-go decision points and feedback loops These advanced methods aren’t limited to frontier AI labs anymore, and you can now use them in your own applications.

I like to think of evals as something active, not passive -- it's a North Star that steers LLMs toward higher intelligence. Evals should drive your RL/SFT/post-training decisions. Internal evals at frontier labs make a huge difference -- and you can see it in how models behave differently (GPT seems better at one-shot tasks, Claude at multi-turn). If you want to learn more about building evals that actually improve your model in post-training, check out our AMD x DeeplearningAI course "Fine-tuning & RL for LLMs: Intro to Post-training" (content is free):

.Polymath is training world generation models to automate the creation of RL environments. Traditionally, RL environment generation has been bottlenecked by human data. Superintelligence will never be achieved by human data alone. Polymath is building the core technology to enable automated environment generation using far less human effort than traditionally required, and eventually none. This allows for more complex and realistic worlds, and higher quality, scale, and diversity of tasks. This will be essential to unlock RL scaling. The end goal is to create large-scale, long-horizon environments from a text description alone. This will enable the creation of worlds of arbitrary complexity and scale, which is foundational for training & evaluating autonomous, superintelligent AI agents. Congrats on the launch, Dylan Ma and Naren Yenuganti!

Karp claims that LLMs are inherently unsafe for critical infrastructure, battlefields, or regulated manufacturing environments on their own. He says Palantir's Ontology is the necessary application layer to prevent data caching, stop unauthorized model training on private data, and make LLMs safe and precise for enterprise deployment. Palantir's alliance with Nvidia is engineered to give technical and defense customers absolute control over their compute, data stack, and proprietary models without bleeding their alpha to outside providers. $PLTR $NVDA

Thrilled to be featured in Dwarkesh’s latest episode with Richard Sutton, widely regarded as the father of reinforcement learning and 2024 Turing Award winner. As Richard explains, we’re entering the Era of Experience, where training AI means creating environments that capture the complexity, unpredictability, and subtle rules of real life. What we’ve learned: building these environments takes deep expertise in data, workflows, and nuances. At Labelbox, we’re proud to help teams tackle today’s RL challenges while also shaping the next era of AI, turning ambitious projects into working systems. (Learn more in the comments)

Andrej Karpathy explains why he thinks of LLMs as "people spirits." He describes them as simulations of people. The technical machinery is a transformer neural network that processes text in chunks, applying equal computing power to each piece. The system learns by reading billions of web pages and books. After training, it becomes a machine that can mimic how humans write and communicate. The key insight is that training on human content gives these models an emergent human-like psychology. This explains why LLMs often respond in surprisingly human ways. This framework opens up both their strengths and limitations. They simulate human patterns because that's their training data, but they remain statistical simulations rather than conscious beings. Understanding LLMs as "people spirits" helps set proper expectations for these tools and explains their uncannily human behavior.

Karpathy's prediction about RL is coming true now! He called reward functions unreliable and argued that a single reward number is too low-dimensional to teach an agent what "good" means for complex tasks. To solve this, Agents need a knowledge-guided review as a higher-dimensional feedback channel. Every major AI lab trains models with RL today (OpenAI, Anthropic, DeepSeek). And their key bottleneck has always been the reward functions. GRPO by DeepSeek worked well for math and code because the environment gave a binary signal. But for real agent tasks, someone still has to hand-code the scoring function. That takes days and breaks every time the pipeline changes. RULER (implemented in OpenPipe ART, 10k stars) addresses the exact problem Karpathy identified. The reward criteria are defined in plain English, and an LLM evaluates each trajectory against that description to provide feedback for training. I trained a Qwen3 1.4B agent that plays 2048 using GRPO with this exact workflow. In this case, the agent saw the board, picked a direction, and RULER evaluated the outcome, all from this natural language definition. You can see the full implementation on GitHub and try it yourself. Here's the ART Repo: (don't forget to star it ⭐ ) Just like RLHF replaced manual rankings and GRPO replaced the critic model, natural language rewards are replacing hand-coded scoring functions. RL reward engineering is now prompt engineering. I wrote a full walkthrough covering RL for LLM agents, from RLHF to GRPO to RULER, in the article below.

No wonder Jensen got so defensive over $NVDA GPUs against custom chips. $GOOG will start using different custom chips for inference and training. $AMZN has already adopted this approach as they have Trainium for training and Inferentia for inference. Hyperscalers obviously see better price/performance in this approach, and this is where the industry is headed. $AVGO and $MRVL are poised to be big winners, while $NVDA dominance will be under increasing pressure.
