Researchers have developed a new method for fine-tuning reinforcement learning models that avoids retaining offline data. This approach, termed "Freeze, Don't Clone," addresses a critical failure mode where continued behavioral cloning after offline data removal leads to representational collapse and loss of action diversity. By freezing the pretrained expressive prior and halting online behavioral fitting, the method significantly improves performance on various OGBench domains across different reinforcement learning algorithms.
