Researchers have developed a novel post-hoc framework called Decoupled Test-time Synthesis (DoTS) to integrate Supervised Fine-Tuning (SFT) and Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback (RLHF) for large language models. This method addresses the challenges of catastrophic forgetting and gradient conflicts that arise from sequential or joint training of these two paradigms. DoTS synthesizes the capabilities of independently trained SFT and RLHF checkpoints at inference time using task vector arithmetic, significantly reducing computational cost and avoiding parameter updates.
