PPO is unstable and sample-inefficient, and it must keep several large models in memory at once (policy, reference, reward, critic). The authors propose RAFT (Reward rAnked FineTuning), a simpler alternative that repeats… 2. **[Mitigating the Alignment Tax of RLHF](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/lin-2024-mitigating-alignment-tax-rlhf/)** *(2024 · 82 citations)* RLHF makes LLMs follow human preferences, but it also tends to erode skills learned in pre-training. This loss is called the alignment tax. The authors measured it by aligning OpenLLaMA-3B on the Anthropic helpfulness/harmlessness data with Rejection Sampling Fine-tuning (RSF) and DPO. They then tracked performance… ## All works 4 works of theirs in our library, the most cited first; 2 with a page here, the others link their original until we summarise them. 1.
