New CERO scheduler optimizes RL post-training rollout budgets

Researchers have introduced CERO, a novel online primal dual scheduler designed to optimize the allocation of rollout budgets for reinforcement learning (RL) post-training. Unlike traditional methods that fix per-update budgets, CERO coordinates a finite budget across the entire training horizon by adapting prompt selection, revisit frequency, and group generation. This approach utilizes a compact Fenchel representation and projected online gradient descent, achieving superior performance on mathematical reasoning benchmarks compared to fixed-rate and time-varying benchmarks.

    CERO: Where and When to Allocate Rollouts for RL Post-Training

    arXiv:2610.09679v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Adaptive rollout methods for group-relative reinforcement learning typically allocate a fixed per-update budget across prompts. We instead study how to coordinate a finite rollout budget over the entire training horizon. We formulat…
