Researchers have developed a new theoretical framework to understand the impact of stale data in asynchronous Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback (RLHF) systems. They derived scaling laws that quantify how the learning rate and the maximum rollout lag affect the stability and convergence of these systems. The findings suggest that to maintain stability, the learning rate must be carefully balanced against both the rollout staleness and the cumulative learner drift. AI
