ASymPO: Asymmetric-Scale Policy Optimization for Asynchronous LLM Post-Training Without Behavior Information

Announce Type: new Abstract: Asynchronous reinforcement learning can improve language-model post-training throughput by decoupling response generation from policy optimization, but stale responses introduce distribution drift. Standard behavior-corrected methods control this drift with behavior-policy probabilities, importance ratios, or clipping, which requires token-aligned, versioned, and numerically consistent behavior log-probabilities across rollout and learner systems. We ask whether...

Rethinking the Role of Tensor Decompositions in Post-Training LLM Compression

Announce Type: new Abstract: Post-training compression is essential for deploying large language models (LLMs) under tight resource constraints. Tensor decompositions have emerged as a promising direction, offering compact parameterizations well suited to Transformer weight structures. However, existing studies evaluate these methods in narrow settings, leaving unclear whether tensorization is effective at large-scale deployment.

DistFlow: A Fully Distributed RL Framework for Scalable and Efficient LLM Post-Training

arXiv:2507.13833v4 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Effectively scaling Reinforcement Learning (RL) is crucial for enhancing the reasoning and alignment of Large Language Models. The massive data and complex execution flows inherent in these tasks require a distributed architecture capable of efficient scaling. However, to simplify programming and dependency management, mainstream frameworks often rely on a centralized architecture where a single node dispatches both control and data.

AlphaToken: Decoupling Adaptation and Stability for Path-Aware Response Token Valuation in LLM Post-Training

Announce Type: new Abstract: Token selection is pivotal for effective LLM post-training. However, existing methods mostly rely on local heuristics and rarely formulate token selection as a principled valuation of individual response tokens.

Qift: Shift-Friendly No-Zero W2 Post-Training Quantization for Rotated W2A4/KV4 LLM Inference

arXiv:2606.02823v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Two-bit weight quantization is attractive for memory-efficient LLM inference, but the standard W2 level set {-2,-1,0,+1} often collapses under aggressive W2A4/KV4 settings. We study the scalar level-set geometry of two-bit weights in a Hadamard-rotated quantization pipeline. Conventional asymmetric W2 substantially improves over the standard level set, indicating that W2A4 failure is not only a bit-width problem but also a reconstruction-level...

Cross-Epoch Adaptive Rollout Optimization for RL Post-Training

arXiv:2606.05606v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: LLM post-training often relies on reinforcement learning methods that sample multiple rollouts per prompt, yet most existing approaches use a fixed rollout budget for every prompt, despite large differences in the training signal different prompts provide. In this paper, we study adaptive rollout allocation under a fixed global budget and formulate the problem as online resource allocation with prompt-level diminishing returns. Our method,...

Sequential Data Poisoning in LLM Post-Training

arXiv:2606.04929v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: LLM post-training proceeds through multiple stages, e.g., supervised fine-tuning (SFT) followed by reinforcement learning from human feedback (RLHF) or direct preference optimization (DPO), where each stage draws data from different, potentially untrusted sources. Existing literature assumes data poisoning attacks may occur at each training stage, but neglects the possibility of multiple attackers. To study the trustworthiness of the entire...

Consolidating Rewarded Perturbations for LLM Post-Training

Announce Type: new Abstract: Post-training of language models is commonly framed as a sample-score-update loop implemented by gradient descent. A recent line of work, exemplified by RandOpt, relocates this loop to weight space, sampling Gaussian perturbations around a pretrained model and ensembling the top-K rewarded specialists at inference. While competitive with PPO and GRPO under matched training compute, this prediction-level ensemble incurs K forward passes per test example and does...

Rethinking Local Learning: A Cheaper and Faster Recipe for LLM Post-Training

Announce Type: replace Abstract: LLM post-training typically propagates task gradients through the full depth of the model. Although this end-to-end structure is simple and general, it couples task adaptation to full-depth activation storage, long-range backward dependencies and direct task-gradient access to pretrained representations. We argue that this full-depth backward coupling can be unnecessarily expensive and intrusive, particularly when post-training supervision is much narrower...
