The Optimal Token Baseline: Variance Reduction for Long-Horizon LLM-RL
Yingru Li, Jiawei Xu, Ziniu Li +10
Reinforcement Learning (RL) for Large Language Models (LLMs) often suffers from training collapse in long-horizon tasks due to exploding gradient variance. To mitigate this, a base…
Dr. Kernel: Reinforcement Learning Done Right for Triton Kernel Generations
Wei Liu, Jiawei Xu, Yingru Li +4
High-quality kernel is critical for scalable AI systems, and enabling LLMs to generate such code would advance AI development. However, training LLMs for this task requires suffici…
Dynamic Vocabulary Pruning: Stable LLM-RL by Taming the Tail
Yingru Li, Jiawei Xu, Jiacai Liu +6
Reinforcement Learning (RL) for Large Language Models (LLMs) faces a fundamental tension: the numerical divergence between high-throughput inference engines and numerically precise…
Beyond Precision: Training-Inference Mismatch is an Optimization Problem and Simple LR Scheduling Fixes It
Yaxiang Zhang, Yingru Li, Jiacai Liu +4
Reinforcement Learning (RL) for training Large Language Models is notoriously unstable. While recent studies attribute this to "training inference mismatch stemming" from inconsist…
Step-3 is Large yet Affordable: Model-system Co-design for Cost-effective Decoding
StepFun, :, Bin Wang +195
Large language models (LLMs) face low hardware efficiency during decoding, especially for long-context reasoning tasks. This paper introduces Step-3, a 321B-parameter VLM with hard…
Continual Learning with Diffusion-based Generative Replay for Industrial Streaming Data
Jiayi He, Jiao Chen, Qianmiao Liu +3
The Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) integrates interconnected sensors and devices to support industrial applications, but its dynamic environments pose challenges related to d…
