1. **[RL²: Fast Reinforcement Learning via Slow Reinforcement Learning](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/duan-2016-rl-2-fast-reinforcement-learning/)** *(2016 · 524 citations)* Deep RL agents usually need enormous amounts of experience: mastering one Atari game can take the equivalent of about 40 days of nonstop play, while a human needs roughly two hours.
2. **[Fast Best-of-N Decoding via Speculative Rejection](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/sun-2024-fast-best-n-decoding-speculative/)** *(2024 · 50 citations)* Best-of-N aligns an LLM at inference time without retraining. It samples many candidate answers and keeps the one a reward model rates highest. It can rival post-training methods such as RLHF or DPO, but competitive N values run into the thousands, which would need many accelerators. The authors observe that reward…
