FAQPage Schema
How do I run distributed RLHF training for large language models using Ray and vLLM?▼

Distributed RLHF training is orchestrated across Ray clusters with vLLM acceleration, utilizing hybrid GPU sharing and sleep modes to reduce training time and GPU idle for 7B-70B parameter large language models.

Can I fine-tune a 70B model with PPO across multiple nodes and GPUs?▼

Yes, you can fine-tune a 70B model using PPO with multi-node hardware configurations, scaling across 4-8 nodes with 16 GPUs per node, while Ray orchestrates the distributed workload and vLLM handles acceleration.

What reinforcement learning algorithms are supported for distributed LLM fine-tuning?▼

The framework supports multiple reinforcement learning algorithms for distributed LLM fine-tuning, including PPO, GRPO, RLOO, and DPO, allowing flexible algorithm selection within a single Ray-based orchestration environment.

Does vLLM acceleration work with Ray clusters for PPO training?▼

vLLM acceleration works directly with Ray clusters during PPO training, providing efficient GPU sharing and utilizing hybrid engine sleep modes to minimize resource idle time across multi-node distributed hardware configurations.

What's the best way to manage checkpoints during multi-node LLM fine-tuning?▼

The framework provides advanced checkpointing for multi-node LLM fine-tuning, integrating with Ray clusters to express extensible and reproducible workflows through clear dependency management scripts and modular components.

Why use OpenRLHF for distributed reinforcement learning instead of other frameworks?▼

OpenRLHF combines Ray-based multi-node orchestration with vLLM acceleration for distributed reinforcement learning, specifically targeting large 7B-70B models to reduce training time and GPU idle through hybrid GPU sharing.
