New sGPO strategy cuts RLVR training compute by 3x

Researchers have developed a new training strategy called sorted Group Policy Optimization (sGPO) to improve the efficiency of Reinforcement Learning with Verifiable Rewards (RLVR). This method uses a small amount of inference computation to identify query difficulty, allowing for better allocation of training resources. By profiling queries and adapting the training group size, sGPO significantly reduces wasted computation and can decrease total training compute by up to three times while maintaining or improving performance.

    sGPO: Trading Inference FLOPs for Training Efficiency in RLVR

    Standard Reinforcement Learning with Verifiable Rewards (RLVR) training allocates a fixed rollout budget to every query, without regard for what each query's difficulty means for the current policy. This leads to two symmetric failure modes: easy queries produce near-zero advanta…
