FAQPage Schema
How do I set up scalable RL training for LLMs with PPO and GRPO?▼

RLHF workflows integrate reward modeling and policy optimization directly into the training pipeline to align large language models. This skill provides references for configuring these post-training workflows across flexible backends like vLLM and Megatron.

Do I need specific PyTorch and Ray versions to run distributed RL training?▼

Yes, distributed RL training requires Verl 0.3.0 or higher, PyTorch 2.0.0 or higher, and Ray 2.41.0 or higher. These version constraints ensure stable integration with backends like vLLM and Megatron for scalable post-training workflows.

Can I use vLLM for RLHF post-training workflows?▼

vLLM is supported as a flexible backend for RLHF post-training workflows alongside Megatron and SGLang. Using vLLM enables efficient inference and generation during policy optimization and reward modeling for large models.

What is the best way to troubleshoot production-grade LLM reinforcement learning?▼

Troubleshooting production-grade LLM reinforcement learning involves using included references to diagnose issues in policy optimization and distributed training. It provides targeted guidance for resolving common configuration and scaling challenges in Verl.

When should I use GRPO instead of PPO for LLM post-training?▼

GRPO and PPO are both supported algorithms for LLM post-training within the same scalable framework. Choosing between them depends on your specific reward modeling and policy optimization requirements for guiding large model training.
