Gradient Regularization Mitigates Reward Hacking in Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback and Verifiable Rewards

Johannes Ackermann, Michael Noukhovitch, Takashi Ishida +1

Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback (RLHF) or Verifiable Rewards (RLVR) are two key steps in the post-training of modern Language Models (LMs). A common problem is reward ha…

Olmo 3

Team Olmo, :, Allyson Ettinger +66

We introduce Olmo 3, a family of state-of-the-art, fully-open language models at the 7B and 32B parameter scales. Olmo 3 model construction targets long-context reasoning, function…

Compositional Discrete Latent Code for High Fidelity, Productive Diffusion Models

Samuel Lavoie, Michael Noukhovitch, Aaron Courville

We argue that diffusion models' success in modeling complex distributions is, for the most part, coming from their input conditioning. This paper investigates the representation us…

Learning Robust Social Strategies with Large Language Models

Dereck Piche, Mohammed Muqeeth, Milad Aghajohari +3

As agentic AI becomes more widespread, agents with distinct and possibly conflicting goals will interact in complex ways. These multi-agent interactions pose a fundamental challeng…

Asynchronous RLHF: Faster and More Efficient Off-Policy RL for Language Models

Michael Noukhovitch, Shengyi Huang, Sophie Xhonneux +3

The dominant paradigm for RLHF is online and on-policy RL: synchronously generating from the large language model (LLM) policy, labelling with a reward model, and learning using fe…
