Researchers have developed a closed-form model for Group Relative Policy Optimization (GRPO) training dynamics, moving beyond empirical descriptions. This new model subsumes existing single-exponential saturation laws and introduces a slow-start phase, offering a more comprehensive understanding of the training process. The model provides predictions for stability thresholds and failure modes, which have been validated across multiple models and group sizes, fitting training reward data with R^2 values of 0.91 or higher.
