ZPPO improves distillation to small vision-language models by using binary and negative candidate prompts plus a replay buffer for hard questions, outperforming standard distillation and GRPO on a 31-benchmark suite with largest gains at the 0.8B scale.
NPO uses a policy's own near-future checkpoint as auxiliary trajectories to maximize effective learning signal S = Q/V, improving performance from 57.88 to 63.15 on Qwen3-VL-8B-Instruct with GRPO while accelerating convergence.
This survey introduces the Generate-Filter-Control-Replay (GFCR) taxonomy to structure rollout pipelines for RL-based post-training of reasoning LLMs.
EAPO injects a prior RL policy's token choices at critical decision points during rollout and beats standard RLVR baselines on math and science reasoning benchmarks.
Rollout-level advantage-prioritized experience replay for GRPO recycles high-advantage individual rollouts with age eviction and fresh-anchored batches to outperform standard GRPO on math benchmarks, with gains increasing with model size.
RLVR exhibits correct-set turnover where solved problems regress during training, and a periodic review mechanism exploiting a repair-window principle improves retention and performance over baselines.
Kernel smoothing enables accurate low-variance value and gradient estimates for policy optimization in LLM reasoning under tight sampling constraints per prompt.
Survey mapping RL techniques onto LLM training and highlighting gaps in value-based, off-policy, and bootstrapping methods.
POPO uses recency-based prioritized group replay and decoupled off-policy optimization to avoid zero-variance ineffective samples in RLVR, accelerating LLM reasoning finetuning with fewer rollouts.
LLM post-training is unified as off-policy or on-policy interventions that expand support for useful behaviors, reshape policies within reachable states, or consolidate behavior across training stages.
