SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Fine-tune LLMs using reinforcement learning with TRL to align outputs with human preferences, enabling end-to-end RLHF workflows spanning SFT, DPO, PPO/GRPO, and reward-model training.

Core Features & Use Cases

End-to-end TRL-based fine-tuning for instruction-following, preference alignment, and reward optimization.
Supports SFT for instruction tuning, DPO for preference alignment, and PPO/GRPO for policy optimization, plus reward-model training.
Integrates with HuggingFace Transformers and TRL tooling for seamless model improvements on existing workflows.
Use cases include building instruction-following assistants, domain-adapted chatbots, and safer, more aligned models based on human feedback.

Quick Start

Install TRL, transformers, and datasets, then run an SFT or DPO training workflow on your prepared dataset to start fine-tuning.

FAQPage Schema

How do I fine-tune an LLM with RLHF using TRL?▼

You can fine-tune LLMs with RLHF using TRL by running end-to-end workflows for SFT, DPO, PPO/GRPO, and reward-model training to align outputs with human preferences.

What is the difference between SFT and DPO for preference alignment?▼

SFT handles instruction tuning, while DPO performs preference alignment; both are supported by TRL alongside PPO/GRPO policy optimization and reward-model training.

What dependencies do I need to run TRL training workflows?▼

To run TRL training workflows, you need TRL, transformers, datasets, peft, accelerate, and torch installed to execute SFT, DPO, PPO/GRPO, and reward modeling.

Can I use TRL with HuggingFace Transformers for instruction tuning?▼

Yes, TRL integrates with HuggingFace Transformers and datasets to support instruction tuning and preference alignment on existing workflows.

When should I use GRPO instead of PPO for policy optimization?▼

TRL supports both PPO and GRPO for policy optimization within RLHF pipelines, allowing you to align models with human preferences based on your specific training requirements.

Why does my TRL fine-tuning workflow require a reward model?▼

Reward models are required in TRL fine-tuning workflows to optimize policies through PPO/GRPO and align LLM outputs based on human feedback.
