Researchers have introduced Filtered Truncated Importance Sampling (F-TIS), a new training paradigm designed for Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback (RLHF) methods like GRPO. F-TIS addresses the challenge of training with heterogeneous models, where different models collaborate on the same task, which typically leads to off-policy samples that can hinder convergence. The proposed framework allows diverse models to work together efficiently, maintaining communication and achieving convergence comparable to on-policy training. In some scenarios, F-TIS even demonstrated improved generalization on out-of-distribution tasks, boosting performance by up to 12%. AI
