新研究揭示 bfloat16 舍入会丢弃大部分 RL 策略更新

一项新的研究论文指出了强化学习(RL)模型训练中一个显著的问题,即使用 bfloat16 舍入会默默地丢弃大部分策略更新。这种训练和推理之间的不匹配,尤其是在常用学习率下,意味着很大一部分权重变化会丢失。研究人员提出了一种名为 Fair Cast 的修复方法,该方法在模型导出时使用无偏舍入方法,如随机舍入或误差反馈。据报道,这一行代码的更改在各种 Qwen3 模型和任务中都能提高性能,且计算开销极小。 AI

影响 这一发现可能通过确保策略更新不被默默丢弃,从而实现更高效、更有效的语言模型训练,尤其是在强化学习场景下。

    bf16 Rounding Silently Discards Most RL Policy Updates: A Hidden Training-Inference Mismatch and an Unbiased One-Line Fix

    arXiv:2610.41073v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Reinforcement learning (RL) post-training of language models keeps fp32 master weights in the optimizer and serves rollouts from a bf16 copy produced by round-to-nearest conversion. At the learning rates in common use, most per-step…
