New SFT method aligns reinforcement learning with Boltzmann projection

Researchers have developed a new method called Reference-Sampled Boltzmann Projection (BOLT) for improving reinforcement learning with verifiable rewards. This technique aims to decouple rollout generation from the optimization process by using static supervised fine-tuning (SFT) on precomputed data. The BOLT procedure establishes a target-matched weighted SFT objective, which is shown to be equivalent to a KL-regularized RLVR optimizer. AI
